;-), LOL, [_]>, :P and 1337: New literacies and bilingualism - Nick Perkins

Mix English, instant messaging and the internet, add a splash of ELT and the zest of youth, and what do you have? New literacies (and new problems!) In the past, English and the mother tongue were the only languages we had to deal with in the classroom, but we now have to include new Englishes students find on the net.

There are three different versions of the presentation slides available on my website:

1. High quality QuickTime version (62MB).

2. Low quality QuickTime version (8MB - no video).
www.ondacuantica.com/iatefl/new_literacies_lq.zip

(If you do not have QuickTime on your PC, you can download it free here.)

3. Full quality (editable) Keynote version (56MB - Mac Os X only).

No PowerPoint version is, nor will be, available.
