CLIL and Multiliteracies #763

After the digital turn, sometime around the 21st century, literacy theorists argue that spatial, gestural, and materialized elements have important roles for comprehending literal meaning. Combining all these, scholars term the new literacy as multiliteracies (The New London Group, 1996, Mills, 2015). This presentation examines a classroom-oriented research project, in which students learned abstract concepts through excerpts of TED Talks. The presenter will examine possible ways to integrate multiliteracies into CLIL methodology for university students.
