Landscapes of Specific Literacies in Contemporary Society (eBook, ePUB)

Exploring a social model of literacy
Redaktion: Duckworth, Vicky; Ade-Ojo, Gordon

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The notion of what constitutes 'literacy' has shifted over time, from the de-coding of words where it is placed in the realm of an individual, cognitive skill to multiple literacies in the 21st century. This volume makes a timely contribution to our understanding of literacy as a multi-faceted, complexly situated activity.
