The field of multimodality is concerned with how human beings use different modes of communication to represent or make meaning in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the rapid growth of international research in this area, accounts of a broader range of global sites, particularly economically under-resourced and culturally diverse contexts such as Sub-Saharan Africa, remain under-researched and under-represented in the literature. \u003cem\u003eLiteracy and Multimodality Across Global Sites\u003c\/em\u003e contextualises a range of literacies including health literacies, community literacies, family literacies, and multilingual literacies within broader modes of communication, most specifically play and the visual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe claim is that powerful pedagogies, methodologies, and theories can be constructed by taking a more detailed look at multimodal meaning-making in diverse contexts. By describing and analysing multimodal practices and texts across a diverse range of contexts, the book highlights different constructs, issues, and emerging questions dealing with the study of literacies and multimodality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47606398058732,"sku":"9780815381945","price":58.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780815381945-literacy-and-multimodality-across-global-sites.jpg?v=1778153467"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/maureen-kendrick.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
