Multiliteracies in International Educational Contexts: Towards Education Justice examines how multiliteracies and Learning by Design have been taken up across international second language instructional contexts, with a focus on inclusive practices and social justice.
This edited collection brings together a team of international contributors to offer a global perspective on the application of multiliteracies in L2 education. Through the analysis of classroom-based qualitative and quantitative data on different aspects of the multiliteracies pedagogy, the book shows how the multiliteracies pedagogy can facilitate more inclusive practices while providing suggestions for pedagogical interventions and future research.
This book will be a key resource for language educators, researchers and practitioners interested in the multiliteracies pedagogy, as well as those interested in critical and social justice approaches to language teaching.
