Abstract
This workshop will focus on linking linguistic and literary-cultural content in the advanced undergraduate curriculum through a multiliteracies approach. The morning session (10 a.m. - noon) will provide an overview of what a pedagogy of multiliteracies (Kern, 2002; New London Group, 1996) entails and will define related concepts such as the dimensions and principles of literacy, available designs, and the four curricular components. The afternoon session (1-3 p.m.) will entail hands-on activities wherein workshop participants will consider how multiliteracies concepts might help them meet an instructional challenge faced in an advanced undergraduate foreign language course of their choosing (literature, cultural studies, writing, conversation, etc.).
