The increasing popularity of digitally-mediated communication is
prompting us to radically rethink literacy and its role in
education; at the same time, national policies have promulgated a
view of literacy focused on the skills and classroom routines
associated with print, bolstered by regimes of accountability and
assessments. As a result, teachers are caught between two competing
discourses: one upholding a traditional conception of literacy
re-iterated by politicians and policy-makers, and the other
encouraging a more radical take on 21st century literacies driven
by leading edge thinkers and researchers. There is a pressing need
for a book which engages researchers in international dialogue
around new literacies, their implications for policy and practice,
and how they might articulate across national boundaries. Drawing
on cutting edge research from the USA, Canada, UK, Australia and
South Africa, this book is a pedagogical and policy-driven call for
change. It explores studies of literacy practices in varied
contexts through a refreshingly dialogic style, interspersed with
commentaries which comment on the significance of the work
described for education. The book concludes on the 'conversation'
developed to identify key recommendations for policy-makers through
a Charter for Literacy Education. .
