Description
Selected papers from a September 1998 meeting bear witness to the value of a multi-literacy approach to the study of literacy. Early papers present reactions to the UK's National Literacy Strategy, then explore aspects of the world of formal education in various parts of the world. Remaining papers carry implications for educational policy and practice, and discuss the increasing interaction between image and linguistic text that characterizes modern communication. Specific topics include the role of social class and home literacy practices among Chilean adolescents, and factors affecting the understanding of baby food labels.
