ABSTRACT
This chapter presents some closing thoughts on key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book addresses ways that the ideas presented here rest on and extend a multiliteracies framework. In this book, however, key participants in the context engineered a situation to bring about the recognition that transformation needed to occur. A second predominant theme regarding the "how" of transformation was that key participants puzzled through the transformation process in company of concerned others. This process of puzzling through specifics of transforming practice as it was unfolding relates to the notion of emergent practice that was introduced in the book. Emergent practice is literacy learning that is co-constructed with key participants in immediate contexts. The book explores two key aspects of multiliteracies, multimodality and social diversity, that are filtered through teaching and learning. It also provides both an impetus and a roadmap, as a field, to (re)consider and (re)conceptualize social diversity within a multiliteracies framework.
