Book Review: Multiliteracies and diversity in education: new pedagogies for expanding landscapes
نویسندگان
چکیده
This edited book presents the work of eight authors from diverse backgrounds. It addresses aspects of teaching and learning that are inter-related in that they are each founded on a particular pedagogical approach. While it has clear connections with what is generally known as ‘literacy’, it covers a much broader scope than would traditionally come under the ‘literacy’ umbrella. This ranges from health and physical education through to arts education, and beyond—that is, areas of teaching and learning that would not traditionally be seen as inherently literacy-related.
