Multiliteracies

Extracting from her PhD thesis, Kelli McGraw writes "There is no argument in any of the research literature that 'linguistic' semiotic systems and learning to code and decode written language do not constitute a key facet of literacy, however literacy across multiple modes – identified by Bull and Anstey (2007) as 'linguistic', 'visual', 'gestural', 'spatial' and 'aural' – is widely acknowledged as being required in contemporary society." Quite right, but the question isn't one of 'balance', as McGraw suggests, but of recognizing semiotics and coding/decoding are constituents of these other 'literacies'. Image: Jean M. Mas.
