Meaning, is the core of literacy and therefore, literacy is far more than just reading and writing text as meaning is conveyed in many other forms such as visual literacy, auditory literacy, spatial literacy, critical literacy, tactile literacy, and many more. Multiliteracies are now incorporated into the Australian curriculum, not only in the English learning area but extended in other learning areas as students engage in a range of literacy rich activities (Australian Curriculum, 2013).

    Over time the diversity within learners has increased with the increase of cultures and differentiation amongst students. Albers, Holbrook, and Harste state, “the old basic traditional” approach to literacy, which centres on traditional and back-to-basics reading and writing using paper and pencil as tools. More current and important research in literacy and diversity acknowledges the importance of traditional conceptions of literacy, but also focuses on different digital, multimodal, and textual tools as well as unique ways to engage in the use of these tools for meaningful literacy teaching and learning” (Reference Albers, Holbrook, & Harste, 2010; Pahl & Rowsell,…

    As stated in the assignment description, literacy is entirely acquired in context. As I’ve known how to read since my early developmental years, it wasn’t that I was able to read something into much later on. Reading a novel is different from reading an article on a newspaper or online as reading a screenplay is different from reading a poem. When I first started college two years ago, I acquired an entirely new literacy of a digital artifact in a digital media class. In the class, a core project was the development of a professional personal website.…

    The Struggles I Faced on my Journey to Literacy At a young age my journey to literacy began. I loved books and story time, especially when my mom would read my favorite bedtime stories like “Green Eggs and Ham” and “Little Red Riding Hood.” I always loved for people to read me stories, but hated to read to others. It was hard for me to pronounce words and it was more difficult for me to understand the words I was reading. All that changed after the bad experiences I faced and the help I received from the different people in my life.…

We did this by choosing whether or not The Ugly Duckling was appropriate for children to read. For this writing assignment we were required to provide evidence and explain our reasoning. Writing this essay was one of my favorites, because it allowed me to think more about my personal views and morals as an individual. I enjoy debating with people and hearing their personal opinions, so this writing objective wasn’t hard for me.…

    Literacy has always been an important part of my life, but in my early years, reading and writing was a tremendous challenge for me. When I reflect back on my childhood, I’m reminded of a variety of things, moments like going camping or riding a bicycle. But most importantly, being the oldest one and having to set an example for my sisters. It’s what I had to do since I was the oldest. If I didn’t advise my sisters on the right path since the beginning, then they wouldn't be as far up the trail of education as they are today.…

    I had never been more scared coming into a college class. Horror stories about English 250 had filled my ears and consumed my brain. They would say, "professors never give a grade higher than a C." Or, "prepare yourself for failure. " I wasn 't sure if I was ready for this stress, and contemplated waiting another semester just to put this class off. Not only did I decide to believe everyone, I also knew my English background wasn 't strong, so I mentally prepared myself for a horrendous semester.…

    Visualizers generally concentrate on the medium (online/offline) to present and are more concerned about the visualizations, whereas, there is a large gap in creating trustworthy visualizations and understanding them. Clearly, the visualization is used to make the decision, attain perspective, or gain knowledge and these visualizations are generally implanted in a written material, which is likely to be presented to the audience by the person who prepared the material or downloaded via the medium of internet. However, we neglect the words, written or spoken with the visualization, that highly have a huge influence on the way information is understood. Thus, it is important to keep ethical consideration in mind and should understand that the purpose of visualization is insight, not pictures. Silber has elaborated the approach to ethical literacy as three separate areas of digital literacy for visualizations: functional, critical, and rhetorical.…

    Throughout the past few weeks of Studies in English Education, the main aspect that has been addressed is the term ‘multiliteracies.’ From completing this portfolio and attending each of the workshops, I have learned that to become a text producer I need to be involved with the variety of functions in language and literacy. Hill (2012) states that ‘to be multiliterate means to be literate in print-based and new communication technologies’ (p. 361). Such technologies include ‘electronic literacies, technoliteracies, digital literacies, visual literacies and print-based literacies’ (Hill 2012, p. 361).…
