The New London Group coined the term multiliteracies to describe an approach to literacy theory and instruction.

Key Points

  • ​The New London Group is a group of ten academics that got together in New London, in 1994. 
  • Its objective was to replace the current reading- and writing-focused, monolingual, monocultural, and conventional literacy curriculum. 
  • According to New London Group, five modes of communication;
    1. Visual → images
    2. Aural → sound, music
    3. Gestural → movement, expression, body language
    4. Spatial → position, physical arrangement, proximity
    5. Linguistic → written and spoken words

Thus, Visual ⇒Aural ⇒Gestural ⇒Spatial ⇒Linguistic is the correct sequence. 

Additional Information

  • Its aim is to establish a new literacy pedagogy that would address issues affecting educators.
