Literacies: Reading, Writing & Oracies 

🎯 About the SIG

Focus: Reading, Writing and Oracy

Our SIG focuses on foundational literacy skills—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—and their interconnections. While oral-based competencies (oracies) have often been underrepresented in research, we aim to highlight their crucial role alongside written literacies in enabling effective communication in the 21st century.

Core Areas of Engagement

• Research on literacy and oracy competencies

• Methodological approaches to assessment and measurement

• Best-practice examples for improving literacy education

Our Mission: To explore and promote literacy as a key to solving real-world communication challenges in an increasingly complex society.
