The document discusses the concept of multiliteracies and a project to connect English as a foreign language (EFL) students through various Web 2.0 tools. It defines multiliteracies as involving linguistic, audio, visual, gestural, spatial, and multimodal ways of making meaning. The project aims to have EFL students from different universities collaborate online using blogs, wikis, social networking sites, and other tools to learn English informally. It provides examples of student work and online spaces created for the project.

- 4. Multiliteracies Linguistic mode: language. Audio mode: music and sound effects. Visual mode: color, perspective, foregrounding, and back grounding, can be Gestural mode: behavior, physicality, gesture, sensuality, feelings, affect, and kinesics. Spatial mode: ecosystem, geographic, and architectonic meanings. Multimodal : reading of all designs in interactive, dynamic ways. Multiliteracies (New London Group, 1996) Complexity of texts: (a) the proliferation of multimodal ways of making meaning where the written word is increasingly part and parcel of visual, audio, and spatial patterns; (b) the increasing salience of cultural and linguistic diversity characterized by local diversity and global connectedness .

- 6. Selber (2004) breaks the concept into 3 aspects: Functional - use technology fluidly, to the point where you use it comfortably, seamlessly, and control it rather than it controls you Rhetorical - know how to communicate with others about how you use, develop, and repair technology Critical - able to understand and articulate the many impacts of technology on our lives and those of others in other walks of life and economic strata
- 7. Multiliteracies Communities of practice (Wenger, 1998 ) Informal learning Mechanics of how to ‘turn it on’, make it ‘work’, recognize icons, decode sounds and symbols, relate sounds and letters, use a book, and read menus. The focus is on the purpose and the form of text to make meaning. There’s no one universal truth in any text. involves critical selection of appropriate tools, texts and technology for a task. involves using what has been learnt in new ways and new situations.

Multiliterate individuals are aware of the pitfalls inherent in technology while striving for empowerment through effective strategies for first discerning and then taking advantage of those aspects of changing technologies most appropriate to their situations. …..”

- 26. Honored but Invisible “ One common benefit of Learning Communities is that they create communities among students. Students report that they come to know their fellow students better and are able to work with them more both in and out of class—in constrast to conventional practice in community colleges, where students typically find a new group in virtually every class they take.” W. Norton Grubb, 1999 Honored But Invisible: An Inside Look at Teaching in Community Colleges
- 27. Participants in such communities develop a first-hand awareness of the multiliteracies required to function effectively in any distributed milieu. This awareness is crucial because it affects not only how we keep abreast of our profession, but impacts what we should be teaching students (and one another) about coping in a world of information overload, where information must be accessed quickly, constantly filtered, and distilled efficiently into useful knowledge in order for us to remain competitive in any walk of life.
