Description
Viv Edwards. (2009). Learning to be Literate: Multilingual Perspectives. Bristol, Buffalo, Toronto: Multilingual Matters. 128 pages. ISBN-10: 1847690610, ISBN-13:978-1847690616 (hardback); ISBN-10: 1847690602, ISBN-13:978-1847690609 (paperback) This recent textbook from Multilingual Matters provides readers with meaningful information about issues of "learning to be literate" in a multilingual context. Edwards is a professor from the University of Reading in the United Kingdom who has practical and research experience within multilingual literacy studies in diverse contexts. Even though the book is intended as a text, it is still useful for teachers, educators, and researchers who are interested in literacy learning and teaching in multilingual contexts. Edwards does not just introduce or explain theories of literacy; she discusses literacy learning within the political and global context. As such, this book presents the literacy learning journeys of many children representing diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds around the world, as well as how political power has influenced children's literacy learning.
