Abstract
The term ‘multiliteracies’ embraces the notion that there are multiple modes of representation that communicate meaning much broader than language alone. Participation in 21st-century technological life-worlds requires a flexible repertoire of visual, aural, gestural, spatial, tactile, and linguistic (oral and written) understandings to design and communicate a wide range of text types. This session examines how teachers can accommodate cultural and linguistic diversity through a pedagogy of multiliteracies to promote a classroom culture of creativity and innovation
