“…In the latter instances, home transmission of a native language must be systematic and attentive to details, such as diacritical markings, tonal inflection, nonalphabetical writing systems, and the existence of two language forms for official versus everyday functions (Said, 2021). These native language features tend to promote repetition and correction over comprehension-oriented assistance (Lähdesmäki et al, 2022). FL approaches that foster independent reading and writing activities in both languages can help contrast similarities and differences (Guo et al, 2021).…”

Families play a critical role in promoting students’ literacy development. Family literacy practices refer to oral, written, and reading strategies that impart cultural traditions and knowledge of the world and that occur in the dominant or native language of a family. It is especially important for educators to understand and build upon such practices when working with multilingual, immigrant, refugee, or asylee students who are the first in their family to attend school in a new host country. Unfortunately, teachers frequently report they are at a loss as to how to engage with the adult guardians of these students on joint efforts to encourage reading in a second language. In this review, effective family literacy programs published in the last several decades reported in the U.S. or internationally are analyzed for how they promote early English literacy skills while honoring a family's native language and culture and simultaneously encouraging strong partnerships between homes, schools, and communities. Culturally sustaining pedagogical approaches reflected within these programs provide ideas for how to intentionally encourage future enhancements of family literacy programming and research.

“…As such, it draws firstly from academic discourses focused on the potential of non-linguistic modes in communicating meaning, i.e. modes that go beyond the mere written or spoken word (Lähdesmäki et al 2022). Second, the study takes impetus from a growing body of works exploring art (Burn and Parker 2001;Liu 2013;Batič and Kac 2020) and textual redesign (Kress 2000;Newfield and Maungedzo 2006;Jewitt 2014) as avenues into more meaningful instances of reading, writing and the making of texts in general.…”

This article aims to explore the affordances of employing the visual mode— specifically the medium of drawing—as a multimodal pedagogy to raise awareness of deforestation and climate change in the South African mainstream school context. Conducted at several public and private schools in the Gauteng and the North West provinces, the research follows nine learners between the ages of 10 and 18, who have volunteered to participate in a three-week enrichment programme involving the multimodal reimagining of a non-curricular narrative into a series of drawings, paintings and collages. The narrative, which also serves as the primary source text during each participant’s artefactual redesign journey, is a wordless picture book that explores the concept of exponential environmental change. With this visually engaging text merely acting as a springboard for the making of new meanings in the Grade 5 to 11 Social Sciences/Geography classroom, participants are granted complete autonomy in their visual representations of how the exhaustion of our natural resources and moreover the threat of global warming may be impacting upon our daily lives on a spiritual, emotional and corporeal level. Finally, each artefact is presented as primary data to offer a tripartite focus on the latter learner experiences, the expressional properties of art, as well as the viability of the proposed pedagogy in future practice.

“…Fifth, there are two most significant challenges in media and digital literacy (Upton, 2021); (Media Literacy Now, 2017); (Lähdesmäki et al, 2022), including the upcoming 2024 elections, which are virality on social media and capitalism in mass media. Virality on social media is still the most significant desire and strategy of the public, political parties, and state actors, even though the posts are wrong, malicious, and harmful to other parties.…”

Political discourse preceeding the 2024 General Election has led to the contamination of the media landscape with hoaxes and fakenews. The public, candidates, and state actors not only compete with factual information and positive news, but also contends with the spread of misinformation and fake news. The prevalence of hoaxes on social media and fake news in mass media circulation prior to the 2024 General Election poses a tangible threat to social unity and national integration. This paper aims to analyze the model of public communication used to combat hoaxes and fakenews before the 2024 General Election done by the Ministry of Communication and Information and other stakeholders. The data for this paper is based on qualitative research carried out with data collection technique through literature searches, observation, and interview. The study discovered that the public communication model developed to combat hoaxes and fake news in advance of the 2024 General election has been ineffective. The fundamental weakness of the public communication model in eradicating hoaxes and fake news lies in the uneven application of the law inforcement and penalties. In addition, there are some elements of the public communication model that do not systematically show significant and consistent progress. At a macro level, this can be understood as the lack of clear roadmap and grand design to eliminate hoaxes and fake news in Indonesia. A clear plan or atrategy is needed for the long term establishment of a culture focused on the eradication of hoaxes and fake news.
