As a result, teachers are caught between two competing discourses: one upholding a traditional conception of literacy re-iterated by politicians and policy-makers, and the other encouraging a more radical take on 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e century literacies driven by leading edge thinkers and researchers. There is a pressing need for a book which engages researchers in international dialogue around new literacies, their implications for policy and practice, and how they might articulate across national boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on cutting edge research from the USA, Canada, UK, Australia and South Africa, this book is a pedagogical and policy-driven call for change. It explores studies of literacy practices in varied contexts through a refreshingly dialogic style, interspersed with commentaries which comment on the significance of the work described for education. The book concludes on the 'conversation' developed to identify key recommendations for policy-makers through a Charter for Literacy Education.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45236678394007,"sku":"9780415719568","price":14551.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415719568.webp?v=1769214006","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/new-literacies-around-the-globe-policy-and-pedagogy-9780415719568","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
