Literacies Research Group
The Literacies Research Group at ELL aims to build a community interested in the theories and practices of literacies learning. We explore the understanding and implications of literacies in its expanded definition, beyond language learning to include multiliteracies, digital literacies, media literacy, multimodal literacy, and other new literacies. We seek to foster collaboration towards research and practice that respond to the communicative demands in today’s digital age.
