该项目将有助于更新扫盲教学法，以满足学习者在数字和多模式文本越来越重要的通信环境中的需求。它将试图开发一种“元语言”，或在课堂环境中谈论当代文本的教育方式，补充和扩展对书面文字的传统语法和文学理解。本研究的目的是创建一个识字教学模式，这是更相关的当代通信环境，学生发现更吸引人。

This project will make a contribution to the updating of literacy pedagogy to meet the needs of learners in a communications environment where digital and multimodal texts are of ever greater significance. It will attempt to develop a 'metalanguage', or educationally accessible way of talking about contemporary texts in the classroom context, which supplements and extends traditional grammatical and literary understandings of the written word. The purpose of this research will be to create a model of literacy teaching which is more relevant to the contemporary communications environment and which students find more engaging.
