MULTILERACIES by Rosimar Suguieda https://padlet.com/rosimar3923/bvmnxrx2wgbx Extend our awareness of the multiple ways texts (live, electronic or paper) draw on our ability to make and express meaning. en-us 2018-08-30 22:24:53 UTC 2018-09-01 13:50:10 UTC hello@padlet.com https://tse3.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.sU6PThU3iIMFVj-6htQdkAHaFM&pid=15.1&P=0&w=224&h=158 Literacy rosimar3923 https://padlet.com/rosimar3923/bvmnxrx2wgbx/wish/276772497 Literacy is undergoing a huge transformation in response to dramatic changes in cultural diversity and in digital technologies. 

It has also been reimagined to include not only digital technologies, but also the ways in which we use visual, auditory and spatial modes to create texts such as presentations, dance, music and art.

The first component is the new language contexts and relationships that constantly emerge due to a strongly connected world.  

The second component is the impact that digital technologies have on the means we choose to communicate and in the ways we combine them to express ourselves.

We may access websites that combine different features such as video, pictures and interactive media to convey their messages. The modes they are using are language (written) as well as visual, audio and spatial.

Addressing multiliteracies through effective learning and teaching means drawing on the wide range of strengths, needs and interests, among students.

When exploring multiliteracies in a unit of inquiry and within language learning and teaching, think about what opportunities there are to use different modalities and think about how these modalities interact with each other.

Instead of writing a story, students explored how music and drawings can, separately and together, communicate ideas. Through this approach, students are developing multiliteracy—understanding and developing text using different modes according to their own cultural interpretations.
This approach enabled students to demonstrate thinking that they would not have been able to articulate in written form alone.

They created family albums and explored what had changed, not only in their family, but also in the style, composition and technology of the images and of the subjects within the images. They then planned, storyboarded and shot a short autobiographical film, choosing what was significant to them in representing their own lives. This was a multilingual class, and by integrating home languages into the text, students were better supported in bringing their “funds of knowledge” (culturally accumulated knowledge and skills) into the film. Elements such as light, angles, composing frames, dialogue and flow contributed to understandings of composition that are also transferable to other modes. As they reflected on elements of text design and the integration of different features, as well as on the choices of subjects and surroundings, the teacher could note the students’emerging understandings and new learning around text creation and communication in different modes.

Teachers should be open-minded and understand that students may respond to learning engagements  in creative, innovative, diverse ways due to the great advances in technology and the way students interact with it.
