Language Assessment Across the Curriculum
We are group #6, the last reading group. We were also the largest group so thanks for your patience in our somewhat long winded projects and discussions.
As was noted in the reading; ‘Multi-literacies pedagogies seek to recognize and connect the language modes of speaking, writing, representing, listening, reading, and viewing. Teachers invite children to use their home/community languages and literacies as resources for classroom learning, positioning children as creators and researchers of language, helping them to become more aware of the role that language plays in social processes, and guiding all children to access languages and power and school literacies.’
Surrounding many of the key themes were the four perspectives of:
Socio-political perspective
Sociocultural perspective
Psycholinguistic perspective
Cognitive-psychological perspective
Our presenters worked hard on these multi-literacies, multimedia and digital literacy descriptions and/or understandings.
