Educational preparation
is currently steered by two oppositional forces in contemporary society:
global connectedness and local diversity. The traditional notion that
literacy entails the technical ability to decode abstract letters in order
to recognise and form words and sentences is contested by the pedagogy of
multiliteracies – that there is a wealth of linguistic and cultural pluralism
in the world and that people can be part of multiple life contexts that overlap
in interest, affiliation and education. Multiliteracies in
education develops a pedagogical framework to
weave multiliteracies into the fabric of the South African classroom.
Multiliteracies in
education takes
the approach that knowledge is contextually situated and rapidly changing and
diverse, which calls for new skills and flexibility, and the ability to work in
teams. Chapters are sequenced according to the four pillars of the
multiliteracies framework: overt instruction, situated practice, critical
framing and transformed practice.
