Our communication landscape has shifted dramatically in a few short years, and new web 2.0 tools and social media are having an increasing impact on our everyday lives and our everyday language and literacy practices. It is more crucial than ever for language teaching to encompass a wide variety of literacies which go well beyond traditional print literacy.Bringing applied linguistics theory to life in the language classroom – this resource explains clearly and easily for teachers and teacher trainers how to address digital literacy in their ELT classrooms for learners of all ages and abilities.
A fantastic book that everybody using the internet ought to read. This book has helped me save lots of time online in addition to helping me understand how to use the web better and to find programs that are useful to me. For teachers there is a special section for lessons in digital literacies. A must have for teachers !
An excellent addition to the field of language learning technologies and a call to arms for all teachers to do more to improve learners understanding of digital literacies.
