Abstract | Literacy in a first language or in additional languages involves a set of complex cognitive, social, and linguistic skills that develop over time. However, pedagogical materials for low-proficiency English as an additional language (EAL) learners tend to target low-level literacy skills only, such as responding to fact-based questions. Materials that target the development of high-level literacy skills, such as integrating information and reasoning based on inferencing, with these learners are rare, despite these skills being necessary in today's multimodal, technological world. In this article, we argue there is a need to develop high-level literacy skills with low-proficiency EAL learners which, ultimately, are not language-specific. Drawing on theories of additional language learning and task-based language teaching, we created a multi-day literacy task for low-proficiency learners consisting of various activities. For each activity, we provide examples of the materials with which the students worked and examples of authentic student work, which we obtained through a piloting phase. (As Provided). |
