I T N I I O F N E D OF ER LITERACY Diego Montañez Literacy is the ability to read and write in at least one writing method, here are some important aspects of the conception of the definition of literacy. Literacy is a continuous, multidimensional indicator of proficiency in using written language. SEGAUGNAL T S R I F in this phase, humans as a species have filled the entire world with their creative presence, because historically they were isolated, and as a consequence that they came up with very different ways of expressing themselves and communicating. The authors' Mary Kalantzis and Bill Cope and conducted research on literacy in Australian aboriginal communities, they say that we have more than 7,000 languages in the world, but speaking particularly of Australia, the phenomenon of the first languages was more than 500 languages and dialects in the Australian continent before than the British. ·Originally the languages are spoken by relatively small populations by relatively small groups and were very low. Multilingual communities originated through cultural ·Great dynamism = No exchanges, exchanging dictionaries, grammars or literacy practices. Renaming as objects, food, and other result of changes in meaning services that benefited the (life, seasons, relationships). entire community. STARTING TO WRITE The importance of writing has become one of the most powerful media in the world and has spread throughout the world as a mode of construction of meaning. In this regard, it is mentioned that today, 90% of the world population speaks one of the twenty languages and all these twenty languages have writing associated with them. School = A place to teach a standard language that everybody shares. Not going and learning that language means marginalization. DIGITAL LITERACIES The rise and challenge of the new literacies, the digital is characterized by being a means of giving meaning and it is a moment that allows us to produce signs, images, and sounds with exactly the same tools, making it another truly revolutionary, one the moment that is bringing a lot of change, for us in this module on literacies it is to change the balance of power between the different modes of meaning creation and in particular, it is a challenging language is the written language as a privileged way in the creation of that is, things start to change around the second half of the 20th century. NEW LITERACIES “New literacies” that arise from new technologies include things like text messaging, blogging, social networking, podcasting, and videomaking. These digital technologies alter and extend our communication abilities, often blending text, sound, and imagery. With a world of digital materials at students’ fingertips, traditional instructional materials like textbooks are no longer canonical. But that doesn’t mean that the role of the educator is necessarily diminished. On the contrary, educators could be even more important as they guide students through the contexts of learning materials, not simply the content. Again, as Leu points out, collaborative practices seem to help boost learning. REFERENCES Wallendorf, M. (2001). Literally literacy. Journal of Consumer Research, 27(4), 505-511.
