Summary
Multiliteracies addresses the question of the future of literacy teaching: what should be taught and how. This new collection brings together the work of the most exciting voices in the field. Each of these specialists proposes a new pedagogy which recognises both cultural and linguistic diversity, and the many ways of representing meaning beyond language, such as the visual. Contributors include these leading international literacy researchers: Elsa Auerbach, Courtney Cazden, Norman Fairclough, James Paul Gee, Gunther Kress, Joseph Le Bianco, Carmen and Allen Luke, and Sarah Michaels.
