Resumo: | This paper draws attention to the importance of new literacy and contrasts it with old one, centred around the ‘three Rs’. Furthermore, it argues against the belief entertained by some that the new approach is just a refurbishment of the old one, with its attendant circumstances updated. It upholds that changing circumstances have instead forced a complete rethink of what it means to be literate in the emerging new world wherein the old order is crumbling fast while new forms of communication are being fashioned at a staggering pace. The new conceptualisation of literacy must take into account the broader context of the world we inhabit today, with the urgent need to go beyond our narrow parochial interests and face up to the challenges presented by an ever-shrinking world and the role of different nations as jointly responsible in the task of attending to our common destiny. The paper also warns against the dangers posed by fake news and the constant misuse of the social media to spread disinformation and underscores the urgent need for investing in literacy programmes with a critical stance. It is argued that, as teachers, we ought to concentrate on encouraging our students to look for hidden meanings in texts, and in the process, helping them to learn to read between the lines, instead of simply taking the printed word at its face value. |

Além disso, argumenta contra a crença de que se trata apenas uma atualização do antigo e defende que as circunstâncias em processo de mudança forçaram um repensar completo do que significa ser letrado num novo mundo emergente, no qual a velha ordem está desmoronando rapidamente e novas formas de comunicação estão sendo criadas em um ritmo impressionante. É preciso levar em conta o contexto mais amplo do mundo em que vivemos hoje e a necessidade urgente de ir além de nossos estreitos interesses paroquiais, enfrentar os desafios apresentados por um mundo cada vez menor e o papel de diferentes nações como responsáveis pelo nosso destino comum. O artigo também alerta contra os perigos das fake news e do uso constante das mídias sociais para espalhar a desinformação, além da necessidade urgente de se investir em programas de letramento com uma postura crítica. Argumenta, ainda, que, como professores, devemos nos concentrar em incentivar nossos alunos a procurar significados ocultos nos textos e nos processos, ajudando-os a aprender a ler nas entrelinhas, ao invés de simplesmente se ater ao sentido literal do que está impresso.ANPOLL2019-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br/revista/article/view/130610.18309/anp.v1i49.1306Revista da Anpoll; Vol. 1 No. 49 (2019): Letramento e Transdisciplinaridade; 119-127Revista da Anpoll; v. 1 n. 49 (2019): Letramento e Transdisciplinaridade; 119-1271982-78301414-7564reponame:Revista da ANPOLL (Online)instname:Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Letras e Lingüística (ANPOLL)instacron:ANPOLLporhttps://revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br/revista/article/view/1306/1041Copyright (c) 2019 Kanavillil Rajagopalaninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRajagopalan, Kanavillil2019-10-09T00:21:54Zoai:ojs.revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br:article/1306Revistahttps://revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br/revista/indexONGhttps://revistadaanpoll.emnuvens.com.br/revista/oairevistadaanpoll@gmail.com1982-78301414-7564opendoar:2023-01-13T09:48:48.925862Revista da ANPOLL (Online) - Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Letras e Lingüística (ANPOLL)false |
