Wing Jan, L. (2009). Literacy and language. In //Write ways: Modelling writing forms// (3rd ed., pp. 3-16). South Melbourne, VIC: Oxford University Press. Wing Jan’s chapter explores the idea of what defines literacy and what elements literacy contains. The author defines literacy as having the skills and knowledge to comprehend and use a variety of texts for different purposes, contexts and audiences. Literacy requires the learner to use a range of skills, practices, strategies and knowledge to successfully use texts for a variety of purposes. The chapter explores the Four Resources Model, multiliteracies, subject specific literacy, critical literacy and technological literacy. Wing Jan suggests that teachers need to support students in their literacy learning by matching learning experiences to the needs of the students and provide support and feedback. / /
