Reading Literature to Develop Advanced Writing Competencies: A Multiliteracies Approach
Friday, March 15 (*previously scheduled for Feb. 15)
Daley Library, Room 1 – 470
This presentation considers how a multiliteracies approach to teaching literary texts (Cope & Kalantzis, 2009; Kern, 2000; New London Group, 1996) can facilitate development of advanced foreign language writing competencies. Specifically, we explore how this approach deepens students’ understanding of the linguistic, stylistic, and cultural content of literature; underscores the complementarity of reading and writing; promotes connections between language and literary-cultural content; and encourages reflection about the role of textual interpretation and production in students’ linguistic development. Discussion of creative writing and journal assignments based on the analysis of literary texts within the context of advanced grammar and composition courses serves to exemplify the approach.
