1장 다문화 사회의 리터러시와 프락시스 [Chapter 1 Literacy and praxis in multicultural society]

This chapter explores the evolving concept of literacy beyond its traditional definition of reading and writing. It examines the relationship between literacy and praxis, framing literacy as a fundamental competency for civic engagement in multicultural societies. The authors argue that literacy encompasses critical thinking, political efficacy, and intercultural communication skills. They present models of intercultural competence and discuss how these skills are essential for effective civic participation. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the dialectical relationship between literacy and praxis, suggesting that sophisticated literacy and active praxis are crucial for navigating an increasingly complex and diverse world.
