A practical and innovative guide to emphasizing literacies
development when teaching world languages Literacies in Language
Education introduces multiliteracies pedagogy, which focuses on
critical engagement with texts, intercultural understanding, and
language proficiency development. Kate Paesani and Mandy Menke,
seasoned workshop leaders and multiliteracies scholars, define what
the approach is, its benefits, and how to create curricula grounded
in it. In addition, they explain how to use the approach at all
levels of language education and offer ideas for teacher
professional development—each key components of pedagogical
change. Melding text- and language-oriented learning goals, the
authors embrace an expanded understanding of literacy to capture
the dynamism of language and its contexts of use; the importance of
preparing students to interact with the range of texts they will
encounter in their academic, workplace, and personal lives; and the
multicultural and multilingual landscape of secondary and
postsecondary language classrooms. Literacies in Language Education
presents teachers with a tested approach for increasing learners’
proficiency and cultural awareness, along with practical
implementation methods. This book provides teachers and program
administrators with immediate steps to take toward designing and
implementing a literacies approach in any language class and
curriculum. Published in partnership with CARLA.
