Due to the changing face of collegiate education, today's foreign language departments are having to innovate and retool their programs. Yet, few clear models that help guide programs through the what and how of curricular revision exist. In this talk, Kate Paesani, co–author of A Multiliteracies Framework for Collegiate Foreign Language Teaching, will discuss how the concept of literacy and the framework of multiliteracies pedagogy can help foreign language departments organize programmatic change and what tools to use to implement a literacy orientation in pedagogical practice.
