Two major changes in our society

Eg. New London Group 1996: A Pedagogy of Multiliteracies: Designing Social Futures. Harvard Educational Review 66/ 1: 1-30.


4

Two major changes in our classrooms

• Approximately 22% of our pupils grow up with two or more languages (Migrationsbericht 2010)

• 81% of primary pupils use a computer at home on a daily basis (IconKidsYouth 2008: 5)


5


• „Young learners inhabit a world of burgeoning new literacies different in kind, scope, and purpose from conventional literacies and familiar language uses forged in pre-digital times.“ (Goodson et al. 2002: 126)

• This requires new forms of literacy development – also or especially in the language classrooms


6


• … How does school integrate those aspects?


7


• … not at all…

• So far European education pursues:

• Linguistic homogeneity (eg. Elsner 2010, Katsarou 2009; Kollmeyer 2007; Helot 2005) and

• Traditional (ICT-free) teaching (eg. Brinton 2007; EVENING 2008; Grossmann 2008, Feierabend/ Rathgeb 2007)
