Book Description
This book presents conceptual and empirical studies on how pedagogies of multiliteracies can empower language leaers, teachers, and teacher educators in an increasingly globalized yet unequal world, with a focus on social justice in language education. The chapters offer critical and innovative pedagogical insights that contribute to re-envisioning language and literacy education in the 21st century in a number of educational contexts, including post-secondary, community, refugee, science, language, and teacher education. From a raciolinguistic critique of monoglossic education in the United States to drama-based pedagogies for refugee leaers in Iceland, this book contextualizes language leaer empowerment by identifying and confronting ideologies of race, gender, nationality, and language. Creative multimodal and multisensorial pedagogies are enacted through leaer-designed plurilingual portfolios, infographics, picturebooks, identity texts, performance, andmuseum-based leaing. This book diversifies and enriches current approaches to language education based on pedagogies of multiliteracies that cultivate leaer agency, identity, and critical reflection, and it will be of interest to readers with backgrounds in second/foreign language education, TESOL/ESL, sociology of education, and applied linguistics.
