Critical Global Literacies: A New Instructional Framework in the Global Era

In this global era, the importance of promoting global and cross‐cultural perspectives is receiving more attention in the field of literacy education. A specific instructional framework that teachers can use across the curriculum is crucial for adolescents’ literacy learning and life. However, the details on how to promote these perspectives to enact adolescents’ agency as critically conscious global citizens are severely lacking. This article responds to the gap by providing diverse instructional classroom examples guided by a newly developed instructional framework of critical global literacies. The authors aim to move literacy education toward global literacy education with a critical lens in this dynamic interconnected society.
