FUNCTIONAL LITERACY
AND MULTI-LITERACY
 LEARNING OBJECTIVES
AT THE END OF THE DISCUSSION ARE ABLE TO :

1. Define the functional literacy

2. Describe the multiliterate teacher

3. Define the functional literacy

through their own idea.
The new literacies encopasis much
more. their utility lies in online
reading comprehension and learning
skills, or 21st century skills.
Literacy was defined as reading
and writing skills necessitated
for activities in modern society
(Gunes, 2000)
At first, literacy was used in various types, such as

computer literacy, technology literacy, internet

literacy, and media literacy,respectively

(ALTUN,2005)
Averred that literacies intend to generate
and communicate meanings through the
medium of encoded text within contexts
in various discourses. (Lankshear &
Knobel)
Kress (2003) posited that literacy can
only happened when having a kind of
potential content through interaction
with the text.
Moreover, the Primary English Teaching
Association Australia (2015) asserts that
21st century literacy has expanded to
include social change, increasing field
expertise and digital technologies.
The example of technology tools are blogging,
fanfic writing, manga producing, vodcasting, and
gaming, running a paper-based zine, reading
literacy novels and wordless picture books,
reading graphic novels and comics and reading
bus timetables. ( Primary English Teaching
Association Australia, 2015)
Leander (2003) noted that new literacies are

often flexible, continuous and open, where

online lives and offline "literacyscapes"

merge.
Exploring The New Literacies
Multicultural Literacy

Is about understanding ethic groups that comprise

the population and focuses on complex issues of

identity, diversity and citizenship.

SOCIAL LITERACY
Is development of social skills, knowledge
and positive values in human beings to act
positively and responsibly in sophisticated
complex social settings.
Media Literacy
Is the ability to make
informed judgments and
make effective decisions
regarding the use and
management of money.
Financial Literacy-

Is ability to make informed

judgments and make effective
decisions regarding the use and
management of money.
Digital Literacy
Is ability to effectively use digital devices
for purposes of communication,
expression, collaboration and advocacy in
a knowledge-based society.
Ecology Literacy

Is understanding the principles of

ecosystems toward sustainability.
Creative Literacy
Is the ability to make original ideas
that have value, and the ability to see
the world in new ways.
The Truth on 21st Century Literacies
According to Research since success
with technology depends largely on
critical thinking and reflection,
teacher with relatively little
technological skills can provide less
useful instruction.
The National Council of Teacher of
English (2013)
1.As new technologies shape literacies , they bring opportunities for
teachers to foster reading and writing in more diverse and participatory
contexts.
2.Sites, like literature's Voice of the Shuttle, online fanfiction, and the
Internet Public Library, expand both the range of available texts and the
social dimension of literacy.
3. Research on electronic reading workshop shows that they contribute to
the emergence of new literacies.
4. Research also shows that digital technology enhances writing
and interaction in several ways.
5. K-12 students, who write with computers, produce compositions of
greater length and higher quality are more engaged with and motivated
towards writing than those who do not write with computer.
6.College students, who keep e-portfolios, have a higher rate of
academic achievement and overall retention rate than those who do not
metacognition, reflection and audience awareness.

7. Both typical and atypical students, who receive an online

response to writing, revise their works better than those
participating in traditional method.
Functional Literacy
-Defined by UN-ESCO through William S.
Gray in his Teaching of Reading and Writing
(1956)
-Functional Literacy is to learn basic related information and
skills and functional skills while encompassing social,
citizenship, and use them in daily life.
The education for all Global Monitoring Report
(UNESCO,2006) state that functional literacy means the
ability to make significant use of activities involving
reading and writing skills that, include using information,
communicating with other, and following path of lifelong
learning necessary for the ability to express with herself
in daily life.
 Referring to functional literacy,
1.Literacy programs should be integrated to and correlated with
economic and social development plan.
2.The eradication of illiteracy should begin with population section, which
are highly motivated and need literacy to their new and their country benefit.

3. Literacy programs should be linked with economic priorities and carried out
in areas undergoing rapid economic priorities and carried out in areas
undergoing rapid economic expansion.
4. Literacy programs should must impart not only reading and writing but also
professional and technical knowledge leading to greater participation of adults
in economic and civic life.
 5. Literacy must be an integral part of the over-all
educational system and plan of each country.

6. The financial need for functional literacy should be met with various

resources, as well as be provided for economic investments.

7. The literacy programs should aid in achieving main
economic investment.
Gunes (2000) posited that functional literacy
constitutes the second level of literacy next
to basic literacy, in which literary and
mathemtical information and skills can be
utilized in one's personal, social, economic
and cultural endeavors.
In context from Capar (1998) cites that a functionally
literate persons is someone who is one step ahead of
literacy and maintains literacy activity throughout

his/her life in order to keep living and effectively

accommodate him/herself to his/her surroundings.

The education for all Global Monitoring Report
(UNESCO,2006) state that functional literacy means the
ability to make significant use of activities involving
reading and writing skills that, include using information,
communicating with other, and following path of lifelong
learning necessary for the ability to express with herself in
daily life.
They also define that functional literacy includes those
skills essential for both official and unofficial
participation, as well as those which are necessary for
national change and development that can be used to
aid an individual in contributing to his/her family and
the society.
The National Statistics Authority

-defines functional literacy as the level of

literacy that includes reading, writing and
numeracy skills that help people cope with the
daily demands of life.
According to Manuyo (2019) based on the 2013

functional literacy, Education and Mass Media Survey

(PLEMMS), the country registred a 90.3% rate, which

means that nine out of every 10Filipinos aged 10-64

functionally literate.
In Integration of New Literacies in the
Curriculum, to address the call for literacy in
today's world, students must become
proficient in the new literacy of 21st century
technologies.
1.First is The Internet and other ICTs require new
social practices, skills, strategies and dispositions
for their effective use.

2.New is literacies are central to full civic,

economic, and personal participation in a global
community,
 3.New literacies rapidly change as
defining technologies changes.

4. new literacies are multiple, multimodal and

multifaceted, thus , they benefit from multiple lenses
seeking to understand how to be better support the
students in the digital age.
Impact of new literacies on instruction, additional
changes are taking place in literacy instruction
(Grisham and Woley, 2009), Henry (2008)
restated that engagement in literacy activities is
being transformed today like no other time in
history.
Multiliteracies in Educational Reform, in a broader essence,
the concept of 21st century skills is motivated by the belief
that teaching students the most relevant, useful, in -demand,
and universally applicable skills should be prioritized in
today's schools.
Assessment of multi literacies refers from
usual memorization of facts and disconnected
processes from to demonstration of
understanding through application in a
variety of contexts.
Biswas (2014) asserted that one challenge for
educators is to help students create a
sustainable literacy development through out
schooling, so that students can develop strong
literacy skills (Borsheim; et. al 2008).
Therefore, Newman (2002) in Biswas (2014) suggest that teachers
integrate four components of multiliteracies in teaching:
1.Situated practice leads students towards meaningful learning by
integrating primary knowledge.
2. Overt instruction guides students to the systematic practice of learning

process with tools and techniques.

3. Critical framing teaches studets how to question diverse

perceptions for better learning experiences.
4. Transformed action
teaches students to apply the lessons they learn to solve the real-
life problems.
Research shows that effective instruction in 21st
Century literacies takes an integrated approach,
helping students to understand how to access,
evaluate , synthesize, and contribute to information
(New London Group, 1996).
Teachers insist to:

1.Encourage students to reflect regularly on the role of

technology in their learning.
2. Create a website and invite students to use it to continue
class discussions and bring in outside voices.
3.Give students strategies for evaluating the quality of information they
find on the internet.
4. Be open about one's own strengths and limitations with technology
and invite students to help.
5. Explore technologies students are using outside the classroom and
find ways to incorporate them into one's teaching.
6.Use wiki to develop a multimodal to reader's guide to a class texts.

7. Include a broad variety of media and genres in class texts.

8. Ask students to create a podcast to share with an authentic
audience.
9. give students explicit instruction about how to avoid plagiarism in
a digital environment.
10. Refer to the Partnership for 21st Century Skills Website.
Generalization;
Now students can be expected to be more confident and
knowledgeable in their learning through participatory
and collaborative practices as a result of this new literacy
integration in the curriculum for teacher education (New
London Group, 1996).
