State-of-the-Art report on studies of literacy and learning in and through social media: on studies of literacy and learning in and through social media Ghent University
The developments in new media inspire debates about the future: some people praise the potential of new media, while others fear the current or pending crisis. This state-of-the-art report analyses how the influence of the new media developments on culture and education can be explored from the perspective of multiliteracies, digital rhetoric and virtual ethnography. Section 1 focuses on the concepts of literacy and culture approached from the ...

In de mix: het Sociaal-Cultureel Werk draait door! Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Nieuwe technologie zoals digitale media huist steeds meer en steeds dieper in het houtwerk van onze dagelijkse leefwereld. Alles behalve evident, want we vragen ons regelmatig af wat we moeten doen om bij te blijven. Bijblijven is vooral een kwestie van eerst even bijkomen, vervolgens her en der bijbenen om uiteindelijk te kunnen bijblijven. Het sociaal-cultureel volwassenenwerk hoeft zich misschien niet zoveel zorgen te maken over haar rol in ...
Multi is more : towards media-awareness and multiliteracy in the Flemish classroom through Italian comics Ghent University
This contribution deals with the multiliteracy potential of comics about/from a further-away culture in secondary schools in Flanders, the northern, Dutch-speaking part of Belgium. We present, discuss and evaluate the concrete set-up of three workshops on Italy-related comics conducted within the aesthetics lessons for sixteen-year-olds in a Ghent school (Oct. 2020). The lessons are part of a pilot project, supported by the Embassy of Italy in ...
La gestión de las necesidades y oportunidades de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de adultos en contextos de multiliteracidad KU Leuven
Today’s globalised world increasingly invites us to master several languages to some extent and to acquire a certain degree of multiliteracy. One type of speaker that during childhood usually acquires relatively naturally and to some extent literacy in several languages, is the so-called heritage speaker (HS). His development and the teaching of Spanish as a Heritage Language (SHL) have been studied for several decades in the US in the context ...
Meervoudige geletterdheid als hoeksteen van een krachtig, hedendaags en sociaalinclusief hogeschooltaalbeleid KU Leuven
Veel hogescholen hanteren een diagnostisch-remediaal model van taalbeleid: een – grotendeels linguïstische – instaptoets stelt de tekorten vast, die dan geremedieerd worden in aparte steunklassen. Maar je kan je heel wat vragen stellen bij deze aanpak. Vormen ontmengde taalklassen wel een geschikte manier om sociale diversiteit te promoten? Bieden de remediale steunklassen een voldoende krachtige en stimulerende leeromgeving? Is de linguïstische ...
Adoptees relearning their heritage languages : a postcolonial reading of language and dialogue in transnational adoption Ghent University
This theoretical article reflects on a recent development in adult literacy studies: transnational adoptees relearning their heritage languages. Literacy and adoption scholars have studied the replacement of the heritage language with a second language and reported it as a permanent loss. Returning to the country of origin, return adoptees challenge such notion by relearning the heritage language as part of their homecoming. We explore how this ...
