Terms/concepts I like: Critically Literate/Critical Literacy
intercultural competence
"partial" cultural truths
Vygotsky - "the very mechanism underlying higher mental functions is a copy from social interaction (p . 164). [152]
Scribner and Cole's explanation of literacy skills - "Literacy is not simply knowing how to read and write a particular script but applying this knowledge for specific purposes in specific contexts of use. The nature of these practices, including, of course, their technological aspects, will determine the kinds of skills ('consequences') associated with literacy" (p. 250) [152]
I am interested that this all takes place in ENGLISH....is that glocalization? on Ethnocentric in its own way? Why must it be in English since the native English speakers/writers have a natural advantage and greater 'power' over the language?
