Multiliteracies and Multilingual Learners

As a globally interconnected multilingual society, we are constantly
expanding our dependence on technologies and related digital literacies. As
a result, the rise of new literacies and multiliteracies has been constant,
with everyone having to navigate increasingly richer and more complex
media. Case in point, more and more secondary students are leading
“tech-saturated lives,” with 95% using the internet, 78% having a cell
phone, 80% having a computer, and 81% relying on social networking—and
these data are pre-COVID (Watters, 2014). Given these facts, along with our
witnessing of a multilingual turn where we have been reassessing the
critical role of multilingualism in teaching and learning (May, 2013),
multiliteracies should have staying power in our classrooms and schools.
