CRITICAL NEW LITERACIES: THE PRAXIS OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING AND LEARNING (PELT) Volume 1 Series Editors: Marcelle Cacciattolo, Victoria University, Australia Tarquam McKenna, Victoria University, Australia Shirley Steinberg, University of Calgary, Canada Mark Vicars, Victoria University, Australia As a praxis-based sequence these texts are specifically designed by the team of international scholars to engage in local in-country language pedagogy research. This exciting and innovative series will bring a dynamic contribution to the development of critical new literacies. With a focus on literacy teaching, research methods and critical pedagogy, the founding principle of the series is to investigate the practice of new literacies in English language learning and teaching, as negotiated with relevance to the localized educational context. It is being and working alongside people in the world that is at the core of the PELT viewpoint. The Praxis of English Language Teaching and Learning series will focus on interculturality and interdisciplinary qualitative inquiry and the dissemination of “noncolonised” research.
