Researchers consider the importance of several, interrelated factors that support the development of adolescents' literacies in multilingual contexts: support from educators, community groups, families, and peers; recognition of the multi-faceted complexity of literacy through multiple, complementary methods of research and assessment; approaches to pedagogy that engage learners' zones of proximal development in humanistic and purposeful ways; and promoting students' vocabulary knowledge, strategies for reading, writing, and learning, and orientations to engaging with epistemic purposes of literacy critically, through multiple media, and with self-confidence"-- Provided by publisher.Routledge research in education ;74.Language arts (Secondary)Social aspectsUnited StatesCase studiesLiteracySocial aspectsUnited StatesCase studiesMulticultural educationUnited StatesCase studiesLanguage arts (Secondary)Social aspectsLiteracySocial aspectsMulticultural education428.0071/2EDU000000EDU020000EDU040000bisacshCumming Alister H1557114MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791941603321Adolescent literacies in a multicultural context3868027UNINA
