A Computer-assisted Multiliteracies Program as an Alternative Approach to EFL Instruction The aim of this paper is to introduce a computer-assisted multiliteracies program (CaMP) as an alternative approach to English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction in order to overcome the educational limitations that are inherent in most EFL settings. In a number of monolingual societies with a dominant language other than English, students have had unequal access to authentic English communication opportunities and consequently have a limited understanding of English as American English or native speakers' English.Although communication technologies have been regarded as a promising solution, the limitations within EFL education have not been fully addressed. In this paper, multiliteracies pedagogy is offered as a promising solution enabling students to improve English and both cultural and media literacies. This paper provides an in-depth description of effective ways to integrate the multiliteracies pedagogy in EFL instruction and its potential effects on EFL students' learning experiences.
BackgroundIn this age of globalization, the importance of English as a global language used for international communication has been rapidly growing not only in English speaking countries but also in non-English
