Title: Disintegrated 4 Skills? Why Don't We Move Forward to Socially Oriented (Bi)Literacy Practice?

Abstract: Language teachers are making great efforts to establish the foundation of communicative competence in Japanese students; however, the focus on five areas, four skills and communicative skills, often encourages teachers to treat any skills in isolation of communicative events. However, by applying recently expanded views of literacy, New Literacy Studies (NLS), teachers can significantly extend their classroom instructions. In this talk, I will first position the current expanded views of literacy, focusing on the socio-cognitive approach of literacy and NLS. Then I will briefly touch upon Task-Based Language Teaching and sociocultural theory, thereby mapping out the ground for socially-oriented biliteracy practice in EFL classroom settings. Finally, I will present my classroom-oriented research that applied NLS. The participants will experience literacy instructions, using a video talk.

Bio: Akie Yasunaga is a lecturer at Tokyo Denki University. She holds M.S. Ed. in TESOL and studied CBI pedagogy for decades. She conducted oral and written discourse analysis and is currently exploring possibilities of (bi)literacy education in EFL contexts.
