My teaching experiences raised questions about the nature of literacy, especially about its relationship with education and schooling. Common sense, straightforward definitions of literacy failed to address those questions adequately, and that inadequacy led to the study which culminates in this thesis. In Pursuit of Literacy focuses on literacy in order to explore answers to those questions. It does so first by establishing a problematized understanding of literacy, then by examining research into the implications of such an understanding, and finally by analyzing the historical link between literacy and schooling in the United States with that understanding as a basis. This thesis arrives at its initial problematized understanding by considering historical and contemporary definitions of literacy and standards for measuring it, revealing that context plays a central role in these definitions and standards. This work then posits a literacy uncertainty principle, analogous to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle in physics, emphasizing the definer's role and purpose as necessary elements in any understanding of literacy itself. A view of literacy as a contextualized human activity rather than an abstract and narrowly defined concept emerges from this problematization. This study then examines some implications of this view. Three metaphors commonly identified with literacy provide a basis for analyzing these implications. Finally, literacy as schooling, a fourth metaphor is considered in an historical context, tracing possible sources of confusion between the demands of schooling and those of literacy. The conclusions drawn here help clarify the relationship between schools and literacy.

This dissertation is an auto-ethnographic account of my curriculum in first-year writing that promotes institutional literacy and examines student responses to it. I frame my research with New Literacy Studies (NLS) in order to highlight the connections between the literate practices of students and larger social, cultural, economic, and ideological contexts. Not only is this helpful for my own understanding of how, when, and why literacy learning occurs, but NLS encourages a critical approach to literacy learning, one that I want my students to adopt as well. Because I was interested in student responses to my curriculum, I conducted interviews with students about their reasons for coming to college, their attitudes towards college, their life goals, as well as their backgrounds. My analysis of student interviews reveals student perceptions of self-efficacy and agency are largely situated along socioeconomic lines. The method of ethnography enabled me to see the exceptions and more nuanced groups of students, which allowed me to complicate the intersections of class and literacy learning.

This volume brings together a collection of papers presented at the 2014 World Congress of the International Association of Applied Linguistics (AILA), held in Brisbane, Australia, and represents current research and practice from across the globe related to reading, writing and visual literacy. Given that globalisation has resulted in an increase in the pursuit of second language (often English) literacy for those who want to enhance their access to better education and employment options, the development of literacy skills cannot be left to chance. This book explores current efforts to tease out the variables involved in the development of literacies, and will inform educators and teacher trainers of ways to improve classroom pedagogies and increase learner literacy competencies. The volume will be of use to both new and seasoned researchers wishing to enhance their understanding of current and emerging perspectives in the development of literacies. It will also be of interest to language teachers and language policy makers as the papers address current issues in language education.
