A3- WL- Mandarin, I used to believe that literacies are printed documents, like paper books. Now I know literacies include many types: audio books, videos, music, text-messaging, social networking,etc. All communication methods are literacies. #schmiteracies

A2-WL-Mandarin, we always heard “fact”, “truth”, or “evidence” on media, but nobody question the dominant ways of constructing of knowledge. My students should listen to different opinions and develop distinguish ability to understand the world.@ #schmiteracies

A1-WL-Mandarin, I will use technology and multi communication modes in my classroom. For example, I will use videos, presentation programs , and online learning platforms to interact with students , to assign homework, and to assess their academic levels. #schmiteracies

A3, #world languages, #schmiteracies it allows students to quickly assimilate into the dominant society. But it will strict students’ self-expression and identity distinguishment.

A2, #world languages #schmiteracies. Give students a guideline to write, it benefits school and teachers to do the assessment. This standard helps young students to learn how to write at beginning, but it may limit students’ imaginations and creativities later.

A1: writing: poems, re-write traditional Chinese poems, free-writing, essay, use phrases to make sentences, project (writing and presentation) #schmiteracies

Literacies have different types of forms? Educators should adapt and introduce these forms to classroom work? ( I guess)

@KelvinMakSTEP Correct! There are always cultures and civilization behind a language.

[Lin McCarthy @LinMcCarthy7]

Don’t know how to answer this question. Maybe I had this feeling after I went to school when I was in China. We had to learn the official language, which was way different from our dialect. # schmiteracies

[Lin McCarthy @LinMcCarthy7]

Literacy can be various forms, and it associated with languages and cultures. Also with the development of the times, it keeps changing. #schmiteracies

[Lin McCarthy @LinMcCarthy7]

#wl-Mandarin. Literacy plays an essential role in my content area: the purpose of teaching students the language is to encourage them to enjoy the charm of the literacy . # schmiteracies

[Lin McCarthy @LinMcCarthy7]

Literacy records and represents the evaluation of cultural and language. #schmiteracies
