Description

This text discusses the complexities that surround literacy in the modern world. It examines prevailing definitions and views of literacy and evaluates these against the technological skills and knowledge demands of the information society. Within a world increasingly concerned about sustainable development, the book highlights the importance of "multiliteracies" and adequate levels of communicative competence in facilitating effective participation in the democractic process.
