Literacies has been chosen as the central concept for this conference because it reflects the complexity and evolving nature of literacy acquisition and the influence of literacy theories on classroom practices. The term is used to remind us that as language educators we have much to consider: our own theories of academic literacy acquisition and those of our students; the ways in which our theories take pedagogical shape; and how we can encourage students to continue their literacy growth throughout their lives.
