Abstract:

The multiliteracies approach to literacy education has become established as an 
accessible and effective paradigm for classroom practice in the 21st century. 
The Multiliteracies Classroom enlivens this theory with its vivid description of 
events in a real classroom. Teachers will identify with the lively transcripts of 
classroom interactions, and be inspired to widen students' access to new 
literacy practices in an increasingly digital and globalised world. The possibilities 
and constraints that can be encountered when implementing multiliteracies are 
explored in detail. Educators know from experience that students begin their 
classroom journey with entirely unequal opportunities for literacy success. The 
Multiliteracies Classroom does not ignore this reality, highlighting the influence 
of society's patterns of power on literacy learning in the digital age. Its key 
themes provide a blueprint for the future of literacy research and practice.
