According to the International Literacy Association’s online glossary, the term multiliteracies is defined as, “an instructional framework that supports an awareness of how new communications media are shaping the way we use language in a highly diverse and globally connected world. Its four components are (1) learning that takes place in the same context in which it is to be applied; (2) interactive teaching and learning that involves both instructors and students; (3) questioning what counts as “truth” for whom under what conditions, and with what consequences; and (4) transformed practice, which equates to applying what was learned in the three previous components”.
