Introduction The theory of multiliteracy encourages the engagement with multiple literacy methods # linguistic, visual, audio, gestural, spatial, and multimodal # to learn and communicate. Multiliteracy encompasses a new modern approach to literacy literacy.. The traditional definition of literacy has been widened to include the understanding of all types of visual and printed texts as well as textual connections including audio, spatial and gestural. There are multiple literacies which are included under the term $multiliteracy.$ The introduction of learning a foreign language in language in schools was the beginning of the more familiar language multiliteracy. Multiliteracies is a term coined by the %ew &ondon 'roup. ()* +ecause the way people communicate is changing due to new technologies, and shifts in the usage of the nglish language within different cultures, a new $literacy$ must also be used and developed.There are two maor topics that demonstrate the way multiliteracies can be used. The first is due to the world becoming smaller, communication between other cultureslanguages is necessary to anyone. The usage of the nglish language is also being changed. /hile it seems that nglish is the common, global language, there are different dialects and subcultures that all speak different nglishes nglishes.. ue to changes in the world, especially globali!ation and an increase in immigration, a debate has arisen about the way students are instructed and learning in school. nglish, and all subects, should evolve to incorporate multimodal ways of communication. +ody0 Method In one of the survey researchers used a )1-item 2uestionnaire developed to investigate participants3 understanding of multiple literacies and their related teaching practices 2uestionnaire consisted of two parts0 4art ) 5items ) # 67 comprised 2uestions that served to
