      abstract = {"Exploring Literacies: Theory, Research and Practice is a  guide to research and debate in the field of literacies  education. The book traces three possible pathways through  the vast terrain of research and practice. Section 1  introduces five orientations to the teaching of literacy  and explores the role of literacy in human societies over  time, including the development and teaching of specialised  fields of knowledge. Section 2 examines the teaching and  learning of literacies across the human lifespan, including  the foundations of literacy in early childhood, the link  between literacy and learning of educational knowledge  during the school years, and the literacy demands of adult  life. Section 3 reviews a range of methods used to research  literacy in social contexts in general and in education in  particular. This section concludes with the voices of  literacy researchers describing first-hand their literacy  research experiences. With a detailed overview of the  research field of literacy teaching, development and  professional research, this book will be invaluable for  teacher educators and students of Education, TESOL,  Literacy or Applied Linguistics"--},
