ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on additional language literacies and how literacies are developed and deployed. It explores elements of learners' communicative repertoires that contribute to and shape the development or deployment of literacies in an additional language. Traditionally, literacy involves individuals engaged in reading or writing but increasingly, particularly via the use of digital technologies as mediating elements, a wide range of elements within the dimension of modes are incorporated in what had been considered to be the domain of writing. The chapter provides framework enables the critical framing necessary for learners to gain an understanding of their linguistic self within their own social contexts, as model enables learners to both reflect on and reformulate their communicative acts. The communicative repertoire and the Multiplicity that is embedded within it provides a means of scaffolding the learner to focus on both aspects of their communicative experiences and aspects of themselves, both of which are important for presenting linguistic self.
