Full Description
Approaching Multiliteracies: Digitally Mediated Second and Foreign Language Teacher Education provides practical insights into developing the multiliteracies pedagogy competencies for pre-service teachers. It highlights how multiliteracies pedagogy can be not just a goal of teacher education, but also a means to prepare future language teachers for this task.
Capitalizing on parallels between multiliteracies pedagogy and current models of second and foreign language teacher education (SFLTE), the chapters within the book illustrate how teacher educators in Europe, Asia, and the U.S. connect new forms of digitally mediated communication with principles of initial professionalization. Integrating examples from their own practice with empirical analysis, a team of international contributors provide models of instruction that can be adapted for a variety of settings. This edited collection examines a range of methodological approaches, from engaging in identity work to the use of corpora, that cultivate future language teachers' dispositions and skills in integrating multiliteracies in foreign language classrooms in ways that are contextually situated, critical, and digitally mediated.
Primarily designed for individuals involved in language teacher education, the book will also be a key resource for in-service professional development opportunities focusing on contemporary language learning and use as well as researchers interested in efficacious models of SFLTE.
