Transforming Literacies and Language: Multimodality and Literacy in the New Media Age

Publisher Marketing: Technology-mediated communication cannot help but inform our literacies. This book is a reconceptualization of the role of language and pedagogy in what Kress (2003) has termed the new media age. It deals with the notion of 'transformation' - a change in discourse practices, meaning making, technology and, as a result, literacy acquisition itself.
