Associate Professor Victor Lim Fei publishes a journal article, speaks at 2 different events, and appears in an interview for a special issue of a journal

Associate Professor Victor Lim Fei from NIE’s English Language and Literature Academic Department (ELL), published a journal article titled “Assessing multiliteracies: a systematic review and a perspective from Singapore” in the Asia Pacific Journal of Education. The paper performs a systematic review of studies from 2013 to 2023 on multiliteracies and assessment in the English language classrooms and identified the themes of the importance of a metalanguage of multiliteracies for assessment, the productivity of multimodal analytical frameworks for assessment of students’ artefacts, and the preoccupation with language and print literacies in multiliteracies assessment. The findings attest to the need for a commonly shared pedagogic metalanguage to assess students’ learning of multiliteracies and the need to move beyond the focus on language and print literacy in assessment
