Evolution of Literacy Beliefs

 

  1. How have beliefs about literacy changed over time? What did people used to believe about literacy and how has that changed? What do scholars believe today? 
  • An old belief in literacy: “funner” not a word…described as incorrect 
  • There was an old English language standard and it was considered an achievement or an academic achievement to follow communication, and grammar guidelines. 
  • Literacy changes, because now… we don’t stick to those same proper English standard guidelines. 
  • This doesn’t reflect how smart or literate someone is if they say “funner” we now adjust and make it a vocabulary word. Same with adjusting to other literacy such as texting, and brief one sentence response without proper sentence structure. Literacy has morphed due to technology. 


  • Scholars today, per ezpeince, use casual language all the time in proesffintal communications. “Word” “sweet.” “Sick” 
  • Maybe they even forget a period or don’t utilize correct email structure
