Reimagining Literacies Pedagogy in the Twenty-first Century - Theorizing Enacting Multiple Literacies for English Language

With English language teaching (ELT), there is an increasing need for a shift away from dominant literacy thinking, knowledge and practices that originate in the Global North. This book sheds light on the array of transformative literacies in the Global South which English language teachers and educators seek to integrate in their pedagogical practices. This collection brings together contemporary research and practice on how literacies are theorized, challenged, embedded and enacted in ELT practice in the Global South, and how these fuse with social, cultural, historical and political realities and localities of contexts where English is either a foreign, second or additional language. The volume showcases research that focuses on the intersection of multiple literacies and English language pedagogy. Authors provide insightful examples of pedagogical research and practice that reinvigorate a wide range of literacies often invisible or silenced in both the ''North'' and ''South''. Some of these include multicultural literacy, critical environmental literacy, digital multimodal literacy, the interplay of visual literacy and local culture, multiple literacies in ELT racializing practices, multiliteracies pedagogies for teacher agency and social justice, among others. With a particular focus on diverse contexts of South America and Africa, the chapters in this volume leverage the affordances of their unique socio-cultural and socio-political contexts to foreground the literacies experiences and practices of students, teachers and educators in ELT settings which contribute to improved language learning experiences.>
