Teaching Literacies in Diverse Contexts - new version

The authors of Teaching Literacies in Diverse Contexts (UCL Press) come together to discuss their work on literacy education. Literacy education can take place in many locations and periods across the lifespan. Literacy educators require flexibility and a deep toolbox to meet their students’ diverse needs, regardless of whether they work in traditional school and college settings or in other environments with varied populations. In this ILC seminar, the authors will discuss how practical experiences can be used in creative ways to support educator development for teaching literacy in a global context. The authors will consider how this can be done in a sensitive and culturally relevant manner by parents, volunteers and teachers with varying degrees of experience in both formal and informal spaces.
