Literacy: Language Competence Beyond Our Comfort Zone


Speaking one language connects us to other speakers and the culture of that language. We are able to communicate, discuss and learn of different perspective through face to face interactions, literature, books, blog posts, newspaper or journal articles, videos, images and other online resources

Especially in the age of global business, the value of employees being able to speak more than one language has increasingly been highlighted over the last few years by pointing out that multilingual employees earn more money and have “practical benefits in a globalized economy“.
 The blogger is continuing to examine how the concept of what literacy has been and is continuing to evolve. Does literacy include a certain degree of language competence beyond our native comfort zone?

Can Social Media Have a Role to Play in Managing a Successful Classroom? This post is part of C.M Rubin’s monthly series in the Huffington post: The Global Search for Education: Our Top 12 Global Teacher Blogs. This month we are answering the following prompt: Can Social Media Have a Role to Play in Managing a Successful Classroom? As in previous posts in the series, She is examining the prompt from a semantic point of view and asks herself immediately: What do we consider ” managing a successful classroom” (and even what does it successful mean)?
