Digital Literacies Framework with Drs. Katrina Tour and Ed CreelyIn today's episode, Matt Sroka talks with Katrina Tour and Ed Creely about a framework they developed with colleagues for teaching Digital literacies to adults from migrant and refugee backgrounds. This framework is interesting and important in its own right, but their work also offers valuable tools and guidance for literacy teachers and scholars across various fields.. In our conversation we discuss the four key principles that guide their framework (Authentic Learning Contexts, Problem-Based Learning, Strength-Based Approach, and Multiple Dimensional Practices). And how each of these principles were or were not enacted by teachers in this study. This conversation stems from their article in the Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy  titled:  “Investigating the efficacy of the AMEP Digital Literacies Framework and Guide for adult EAL settings” by Ekaterina Tour, Edwin Creely, Peter Waterhouse, and Michael Henderson. Dr Katrina Tour is a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Education at Monash University. Her research focuses on the digital literacies of children and adults from refugee and migrant backgrounds. It investigates the ways in which these groups use digital technologies in English as an Additional Language (EAL) for life, learning and employment, and explores how these experiences can be used to enhance educational policies and pedagogies for digital literacies in EAL/TESOL settingsDr Edwin Creely is a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Education at Monash University. He is a strong contributor to international conferences and is widely published. His research interests include digital literacies and pedagogies, computers in education, creativity, critical thinking, literacies across the years, and artificial intelligence and language learning. He has also developed a strong interest in adult learning and especially involving adults from migrant and refugee backgrounds. Also, as mentioned in the opening, the latest Literacy Insights is now available: Guiding and Assessing Student WritingResources:“Investigating the efficacy of the AMEP Digital Literacies Framework and Guide for adult EAL settings”AMEP Digital Literacies Framework and Guide AMEP Digital Literacies: Teaching Resources
