Abstract:

This book sheds light on the array of transformative literacies in the
Global South, which English language teachers and educators seek to
integrate within their pedagogical practices.
In English language teaching (ELT), there is an increasing need for a
shift away from dominant literacy thinking, knowledge and practices
that originate in the Global North. This collection brings together
contemporary research and practice on how literacies are theorized,
challenged, embedded and enacted in ELT practice in the Global South.
It showcases research that focuses on the intersections of multiple
literacies and English language pedagogy, and how these fuse with the
social, cultural, historical and political realities of contexts where
English is a foreign, second or additional language.
The authors provide insightful examples of pedagogical research and
practice that reinvigorate a wide range of literacies often invisible
or silenced in both the 'North' and 'South'. These include
multicultural literacy, critical environmental literacy, digital
multimodal literacy, the interplay of visual literacy and local
culture, multiple literacies in ELT racializing practices,
multiliteracies pedagogies for teacher agency and social justice. With
a focus on the diverse contexts of South America and Africa, some
chapters in this volume leverage their unique socio-cultural and
socio-political contexts to foreground the literacies experiences and
practices of students, teachers and educators in ELT settings that
contribute to improved language learning experiences.
