“…Binder and Kotsopoulos (2011) also found that individuals express their thoughts better by drawing, even after the early years of life. This result shows that there is a possible holistic structure of creative thinking of students in terms of visual and verbal areas in early puberty age.…”

“…Artistic modes of expression in the learning lives of young children not only demonstrate the importance of connecting literacy and the arts, but view the medium as a source of knowledge in and of itself, providing an additional space to generate meaning and express thought (Binder & Kotsopoulos, 2011).…”

“…Extending the retelling approaches discussed by Cooper (2009) and Paley (2007) to images, validated the children's perspectives and encouraged them to draw on their multimodal resources (Binder & Kotsopoulos, 2011).

This article draws from a larger study that examines the multiple literacies inherent in children's drawings. The author discusses a qualitative research project conducted with a split grade one and two classroom in Toronto, Canada. She argues that pictorial images can be read as a form of literacy, where thought is made public through visual narratives. The author's prime focus was to interpret the children's artwork as communication on a par with other semiotic modes and to explore the images as an important vehicle for teaching and learning.

“…Further, narratives allow for the researcher to maximise an understanding of those experiences for the individual (Loftus and Higgs 2010) and can offer an opportunity to possibly explain such experiences (Binder and Kotsopoulos 2013).…”

South African universities have witnessed an increase in the number of international student enrolment. Strategies need to be put into place into ways of integrating and helping students develop a sense of belonging. The aim of this research (using a narrative analysis) is to understand how international students develop a sense of belonging as part of their enrolment at a rural university in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. In achieving this, a focus group discussion and reflective diaries were used at the start and end of the 2015 academic year using 20 international students. Data was analysed using the three levels of meaning making adopted in previous qualitative research. Three findings in the form of narratives emerge based on the data analysis. First, the formation of an in and out group mentality amongst international students.Second, the study reveals the factors that were narrated as influencing student's sense of belonging. Despite all this, students still narrated as "suffering a sense of elsewhere". Based on the findings and narratives generated from this work, suggestions are made that affect the work of lecturers, university administrators and also policy makers on what can be done to assist international students in developing a sense of belonging within a South African context as part of their enrolment.
