This book presents results from a four-year project addressing the
central question: What factors, challenges, and contexts contribute
to and constrain literacy achievement among at-risk adolescent
learners with culturally diverse backgrounds? Researchers consider
the importance of several, interrelated factors that support the
development of adolescents' literacies in multilingual contexts:
support from educators, community groups, families, and peers;
recognition of the multi-faceted complexity of literacy through
multiple, complementary methods of research and assessment;
approaches to pedagogy that engage learners' zones of proximal
development in humanistic and purposeful ways; and promoting
students' vocabulary knowledge, strategies for reading, writing,
and learning, and orientations to engaging with epistemic purposes
of literacy critically, through multiple media, and with
self-confidence.
