Critical Literacies and Graphic Novels for English‐Language Learners: Teaching Maus

Abstract: Graphic novels can be used in the secondary school classroom as part of a multiliteracies approach to help develop critical literacies of English‐language learner (ELL) students. One particular graphic novel, Maus, is discussed as a possible teaching resource. Intellectually substantive graphic novels that foreground racism and immigrant otherness often resonate with ELL students. These texts' multimodalities along with their engaging content reflecting the diverse identities present in many classrooms work in… Show more

“…Indeed, research (e.g., Chun, 2009;Kubota & Lin, 2009;Yoon, 2012) finds that ELLs' social and political issues cannot be separated from their language and literacy learning. ELLs' identity process is facilitated when teachers use their micro-politics of daily life in the classroom curriculum.…”

“…Tanto es así, que existen diversas propuestas para establecer un canon literario del cómic como punto de partida para generar un canon escolar con aplicaciones didácticas (por ejemplo, Ortiz et al, 2014). Diversos autores sugieren que empleo de la novela gráfica, con estudiantes de secundaria, ha permitido desarrollar la lectura crítica y las habilidades de comprensión a través de discusiones en pequeños grupos (Carter, 2009;Chun, 2009).

Chun (, p. 144) has observed that traditional secondary and postsecondary language pedagogy “has ignored the dynamic relationships of visual images to the written word, and argues for a “multiliteracies approach that deepens reading engagement.” Representing just such a multiliteracy approach, the Comprehension: Milestone (Level 2) goal is for students to recognize how “textual features (e.g., sentence and paragraph structure or tone) contribute to the author's message [and to] draw basic inferences about context and purpose of text.” Because in my curriculum, textual features also refer to visual elements, students must perform a simultaneous close reading of the words and the images: “Kommentieren Sie die Form und die Sprache. Wie wird die Geschichte erzählt?…”
