Text I
Multiliteracy: the new basic skill for the 21st century classroom
We increasingly engage with texts that draw meaning beyond
written words from other sources. Images, sound, video clips and
gestures (alone and in combination) all play central roles in how
we communicate and interpret content.
This multimedia approach is especially evident in online
platforms and social media, where a single piece of content may
blend written language with videos, graphics, photos and other
visual elements. This change requires us to rethink what we mean
by literacy.
Nearly 30 years ago, a group of scholars, the New London
Group, recognised the need for a broader understanding of
literacy after observing a growing gap between the literacy needs
students faced outside of school and the print-based practices still
dominant in classrooms.
They introduced a concept of multiliteracies which
acknowledges that we now engage with texts that use multiple
modes of communication. We engage with these texts in different
media environments, each with their own practices and strategies.
The concept incorporates the literacy skills needed to acquire,
interpret, produce and evaluate the multimodal and multimedia
texts we encounter today.
For literacy education, this shift means updating classroom
aims, content and activities. The group developed a pedagogical
framework to help schools respond to the growing inequalities and
rapid changes in technology and the textual landscape.
The process starts with examining pupils’ everyday literacy
practices and experiences together. Then these practices are
approached analytically by introducing a metalanguage for
discussing the resources they use to create meaning. Students can
use this metalanguage to critically evaluate their literacy practices
which helps them understand how different modes of
communication work and how to use them effectively.
The pedagogy of multiliteracies also emphasises the design
and production of multimodal texts and collaborative learning in
linguistically and culturally diverse groups, rather than individual
reading activities. […]
Multiliteracies are already included in many European
curricula, and the European framework for key competencies for
lifelong learning defines literacy in a way that aligns with the
concept of multiliteracies. These policy documents and guidelines
provide a foundation for integrating multiliteracies into literacy
education.
Yet, research shows that there is still work to be done to
incorporate teaching multimodal literacy practices into
mainstream literacy education. While many teachers do include
multimodal texts in their classroom activities, tensions between
multimodal and traditional practices still exist.
Studies point out the huge challenges teachers face when they
adapt their teaching to the redefined literacies, and there are
concerns about teachers’ preparedness to teach multiliteracies.
They need support with training and appropriate materials. Teacher educators and policy makers must ensure that teachers
have substantial and concrete support.

THE DIGITAL FRONTIER OF FIDELITY
The Nuances of Micro-cheating: Social Practice or Digital
Paranoia ?
In the contemporary landscape of interpersonal
relationships, the ubiquity of social media has recalibrated
the traditional parameters of faithfulness. The emergence of
the term "micro-cheating" serves as a testament to this shift,
encompassing a spectrum of subtle, digitally-mediated
behaviors that, while devoid of physical consummation,
suggest an emotional or erotic redirection. Such actions—
ranging from the seemingly innocuous "double-tap" on an expartner’s archived photograph to the deliberate
concealment of encrypted message threads—occupy a
contentious "grey area" that challenges the binary definition
of infidelity.
From a socio-psychological perspective, micro-cheating is
often interpreted not as an isolated act of betrayal, but as a
symptom of the "validation economy." The digital
architecture of modern platforms encourages a constant
pursuit of external approval, where a notification can
function as a dopamine-inducing ego boost. Consequently,
the ambiguity of intent becomes the focal point of the
debate: is the digital interaction a legitimate exercise of
social autonomy or a covert erosion of the primary
partnership’s exclusivity? Proponents of the concept argue
that the "secrecy criterion" is the ultimate litmus test—if an
interaction is intentionally shielded from a partner’s view, the
threshold of trust has likely been breached.
Conversely, skeptics caution against the pathologization of
digital sociability. They argue that the expansion of the
"cheating" umbrella to include minor online interactions
fosters a climate of hyper-vigilance and domestic
surveillance, potentially undermining the very foundation of
trust it seeks to protect. By labeling these behaviors as
"micro-infidelities," we risk imposing a panoptic gaze on our partners, where every "friend request" is scrutinized for
subversive intent.
For the language educator, this phenomenon provides a rich
semiotic field for classroom reflection. Aligning with the
National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), the study of such
themes transcends mere grammatical decoding. It invites
students to engage in "multiliteracies," analyzing how
meaning is negotiated across digital platforms and how
language (visual, verbal, and symbolic) shapes social ethics.
In this sense, the English language is not merely a system of
signs to be mastered, but a tool for critical agency in a
globalized, hyper-connected world.

that the "secrecy criterion" is the ultimate litmus test—if an
interaction is intentionally shielded from a partner’s view, the

Conversely, skeptics caution against the pathologization of

"cheating" umbrella to include minor online interactions
fosters a climate of hyper-vigilance and domestic
surveillance, potentially undermining the very foundation of
trust it seeks to protect. By labeling these behaviors as

THE DIGITAL FRONTIER OF FIDELITY
The Nuances of Micro-cheating: Social Practice or Digital
Paranoia ?
In the contemporary landscape of interpersonal
relationships, the ubiquity of social media has recalibrated
the traditional parameters of faithfulness. The emergence of
the term "micro-cheating" serves as a testament to this shift,
encompassing a spectrum of subtle, digitally-mediated
behaviors that, while devoid of physical consummation,
suggest an emotional or erotic redirection. Such actions—
ranging from the seemingly innocuous "double-tap" on an expartner’s archived photograph to the deliberate
concealment of encrypted message threads—occupy a
contentious "grey area" that challenges the binary definition
of infidelity.
From a socio-psychological perspective, micro-cheating is
often interpreted not as an isolated act of betrayal, but as a
symptom of the "validation economy." The digital
architecture of modern platforms encourages a constant
pursuit of external approval, where a notification can
function as a dopamine-inducing ego boost. Consequently,
the ambiguity of intent becomes the focal point of the
debate: is the digital interaction a legitimate exercise of
social autonomy or a covert erosion of the primary
partnership’s exclusivity? Proponents of the concept argue
that the "secrecy criterion" is the ultimate litmus test—if an
