Download or read book Re theorizing Literacy Practices written by David Bloome and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving beyond current theories on literacy practices, this edited collection sheds new light on the complexities inherent to the social, cultural, and ideological contexts in which literacy practices are realized. Building on Brian V. Street’s scholarship, contributors discuss literacy as intrinsically social and ideological, and examine how the theorizing of literacy practices has evolved in recognition of the diverse contexts in which written language is used. Breaking new intellectual and theoretical ground, this book brings together leading literacy scholars to re-examine how educational and sociocultural contexts frame and define literacy events and practices. Drawing from the richness of Brian V. Street’s work, this volume offers insights into fractures, tensions, and developments in literacy for scholars, students, and researchers.

Download or read book Literacy and Numeracy in Latin America written by Judy Kalman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin American Literacy and Numeracy Studies (LALNS) are fairly unknown in other parts of the world. This book charts new directions in LALNS and explores the relationship between these studies and international perspectives. Calling upon social practice approaches, New Literacy Studies, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis and other paradigms, the contributors identify both convergent and divergent literacy and numeracy issues within the region as well as beyond the Latin American context. Literacy and Numeracy in Latin America moves the field forward by bringing LALNS into wider focus and helping readers to understand the synergy with work from other perspectives and from other parts of the world and the implications for theory and practice. A lack of translated work until now between Latin America and, in particular, the UK, US, and Europe, has meant that such important overlaps between areas of study have gone unappreciated. In this way this volume is the first of its kind, a significant and original contribution to the field.

Download or read book Ni os y j venes ante las redes y pantallas written by Ma. Amor Pérez Rodríguez and published by Editorial GEDISA. This book was released on 2016-01-15 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los niños y jóvenes crecen rodeados de los medios y las tecnologías, de pantallas a través de las cuales cuentan y muestran su vida y miran la de otros. Los docentes deben asumir, como parte de su responsabilidad profesional, el dominio de la competencia mediática para poder implementar estrategias didácticas y recursos pedagógicos adecuados al desarrollo tecnológico y mediático más actual. La educación en medios sigue siendo algo anecdótico o instrumental. Plantear cómo funcionan sus lenguajes, cómo se producen sus mensajes, la retórica y técnicas que emplean para construir el significado, de qué manera seleccionan y manipulan la información y la comunicación, puede contribuir a disminuir su autoridad y su consideración de mitos y a fomentar la conciencia crítica ante ellos.

Download or read book Feminist Critical Literacy written by Laura Triviño Cabrera and published by Ediciones Octaedro. This book was released on 2022-05-23 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores, as one of the priorities of the feminist agenda in the 21st century, feminist education and awareness in pre-service and in-service teacher training. Although feminism is constantly present in political discourse and social media, it is not examined sufficiently in the classroom. This situation means that students approach feminism through media culture, lacking the feminist knowledge necessary to teach disciplinary knowledge from the feminist perspective. Feminist theory, as a critical theory, provides teacher training based on the formation of critical-creative thinking and the resolute interpretation of the relevant social issues of the world in which we live. We understand the process of 'Feminist Critical Literacy' outlined here as a plan to find a feminist utopia, specifically, in the training of teachers from all disciplines, although more oriented towards the Social and Human Sciences and Artistic Education through the use of multimodality as a pedagogical approach. If future teachers do not develop feminist cognitive lenses, they will not be prepared to teach women's experiences and gender perspectives to their own students. This would then contribute to the endurance of an androcentric culture where there are no women's models that can serve as a stimulus or be historical references for female students. Our idea of Feminist Critical Literacy stems from feminist literary criticism and critical literacy. Feminist Critical Literacy is defined as the hermeneutical process of suspicion (mainstream culture) and of performative deconstruction of multimodal texts (didactic produsage), the purpose of which is to generate feminist consciousness in teachers from an intersectional perspective; through the acquisition of critical, creative, empathetic, aesthetic, and empowering competencies that contribute to the formation of a fair, equal, and equitable glocal citizenship.

Download or read book Becoming a Plurilingual Child written by Roberto Gómez Fernández and published by Bubok. This book was released on 2013-05-20 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present research aims at illustrating the newcomer’s process of becoming an ‘emergent plurilingual’ member of a heterogeneous and multilingual primary school classroom in Luxembourg. It is a 8 month case study about a child belonging to one of the ethnic and linguistic communities most affected by school failure in Luxembourg, namely ‘Romanophones’ or romance-language speaking students. The country of Luxembourg has three official languages and a great diversity, both factors demanding a unique educational system. The Luxembourgish educational system is then confronted with the common practice of trilingualism and a high proportion of foreigners in its classrooms. A detailed analysis of the actors in contact with this child, including the different teachers, parents, and peers, allows for an observation of which practices are legitimated and which ones are marginalized. It also provides valuable insights on how such practices emerge and how the newcomer’s identity evolves within the class group.

This book was released on 2023-04-06 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.
