Abstract

Abstract. Literacy is defined traditonally as â€˜theÂ abilityÂ toÂ readÂ andÂ writeâ€™Â and it is also regarded as the ability to understand every single iinformation in different contexts or fields. Nevertheless,Â theÂ newÂ literacyÂ approachÂ in the point of view ofÂ theÂ post-structuralismÂ coversÂ theÂ representation ofÂ Â textsÂ inÂ context,Â different values,Â meaningsÂ andÂ theÂ principlesÂ ofÂ multiliteracies.Â Traditional and modern concepts of literacy have correlation with a number of sociocultural activities which occurs in the in the society as well as the classroom which represents a social space. This study focuses on explaining the termÂ literacyÂ andÂ multiliteraciesÂ inÂ theÂ postmodernÂ worldÂ and Â alsoÂ the existing rolesÂ ofÂ literacyÂ teachersÂ forÂ theÂ practical activitiesÂ inÂ Indonesian literacy classrooms.Â
