Multiliteracy is a term that is used to describe that there is more than one type/form of literacy in our contemporary context. The development of multiliteracy came to be through the constantly changing technology in the world around us and the importance of being multiliterate is substantial to effectively communicate and function in our modern world, so being multiliterate has become more important than ever in a world with new cultures and new contexts. Multiliteracy is presented through five different aspects, including multimodal texts such as linguistic, visual, audio, spatial and gestural forms to effectively communicate meaning. The various aspects of a multimodal text influences its meaning and perception as all components work together to form the “whole picture”.

We believe that teaching multiliteracies in the classroom is crucial for the students' learning processes since, in this way, students will learn in a better environment and have more opportunities in the future. By learning multiliteracies, students learn to be creative and think critically, to make complex decisions, to write effectively, to solve problems, to use technology as a tool, to interpret messages, to work collaboratively and communicate effectively with others. In addition, multiliteracies can help teachers provide equal access to learning for all students.
Therefore, teachers should encourage the use of multiliteracies in the classroom in order to help students be more confident and knowledgeable in their learning context.
