The article “Affordances of Multilingual and Multimodal Literacy Engagements of Immigrant High School Students: A Scoping Review” by Rahat Zaidi and Pramod K. Sah reviews research on how multilingual and multimodal literacy practices help immigrant youth explore their identities and address societal issues. It highlights a growing trend in using digital storytelling, spoken word poetry, photographs, and bilingual books to enable students to express themselves, tackle educational challenges, and challenge dominant societal narratives. The study advocates for these approaches to transform literacy education and better support immigrant students.
