Imaginative and attractive, cutting edge in its conception, this
text explicates a model for the integration of language arts and
literacy education based on the notion of framing. The act of
framing - not frames in themselves - provides a creative and
critical approach to English as a subject. Re-framing Literacy
breaks new ground in the language arts/literacy field, integrating
arts-based and sociologically based conceptions of the subject. The
theory of rhetoric the book describes and which provides its
overarching theory is dialogic, political, and liberating.
Pedagogically, the text works inductively, from examples up
toward theory: starting with visuals and moving back and forth
between text and image; exploring multimodality; and engaging in
the transformations of text and image that are at the heart of
learning in English and the language arts. Structured like a
teaching course, it is designed to excite and involve readers and
lead them toward high-level and useful theory in the field.
Offering an authoritative, clear guide to a complex field, it is
widely appropriate for pre-service and in-service courses globally
in English and language arts education.
