9. Teacher's Corner: Engaging English Language Learners with New Forms of Literacy

   Format(s): Text

   In the 21st century, our students have to know how to read and communicate using more than just words on paper or a computer screen. Communication takes many forms, and our classroom teaching will benefit by bringing in these new forms of communication. April’s Teacher’s Corner looks at several new literacies: instant messaging, comics and graphic novels, short-form videos, and podcasting. We explore what these forms are and how we can use them in the classroom to help students develop their language skills and to solve problems in an ever-changing world of communication.
