In past decades literacy was the basic reading and writing. However, Cope and Kalantzis discusses in depth the transforming society – in relation to citizens, persons and workers, and therefore a need for new ways of literacy teaching. Times have changed and evolved from pens and paper to walking mobile devices that accesses multiple communications and networking applications. Cope and Kalantzis state that learners need to interact within social and the economic society, and therefore it is important the learners are educated to interact within the ever changing society. This brings in the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of multiliteracies and how Cope and Kalantizis reframed the multiliteracies pedagogical practices from the four major dimensions – situated practice, overt instruction, critical framing and transformed practice to the knowledge processes – experiencing, conceptualizing, analysing and applying.
