In Language and Learning in the Digital Age, linguist James Paul Gee and educator Elisabeth Hayes deal with the forces unleashed by today’s digital media, forces that are transforming language and learning for good and ill.

They argue that the role of oral language is almost always entirely misunderstood in debates about digital media. Like the earlier inventions of writing and print, digital media actually power up or enhance the powers of oral language.

Gee and Hayes deal, as well, with current digital transformations of language and literacy in the context of a growing crisis in traditional schooling in developed countries. With the advent of new forms of digital media, children are increasingly drawn towards video games, social media, and alternative ways of learning. Gee and Hayes explore the way in which these alternative methods of learning can be a force for a paradigm change in schooling.

This is an engaging, accessible read both for undergraduate and graduate students and for scholars in language, linguistics, education, media and communication studies.

5.0 out of 5 stars new identities in a digital age

I would highly recommend this book for the educators of our changing times. The authors provide a succinct overview of the development of literacy in an ever changing world with all the issues that have grown out of literacy. They address age old problems of people loosing their ability to be critically literate in a world that exercises power with acclaimed authenticity. They enable us to see that the internet is not a panacea but like any other innovation can be developed into potential excellence for society. Whether or not we believe this, we will be forced to go with the flow, even as the printing press initiated freedom to become literate. Karen Nohara
