Language and Literacy Researchers of Canada (LLRC) is a special interest group (SIG) within the Canadian Association for Curriculum Studies (CACS), which is a constituent association of the Canadian Society for the Study of Education (CSSE). LLRC is comprised of individuals who are interested in language and literacy education and research, particularly, but not exclusively, within the Canadian context.

We define “literacy” broadly, understanding that what it means to be literate is situational, and that individuals generally acquire numerous literacies as they navigate different linguistic spheres. In keeping with this notion, our members promote understanding of literacy acquisition in a range of developmental, socio-cultural, and media contexts. The Language and Literacy Researchers are partners with Language and Literacy: A Canadian Education E-Journal.

L’Association canadienne des chercheurs en langue et littératie (ACCLL) est un groupe d’intérêt particulier au sein de l’Association canadienne pour l’étude du curriculum (ACÉC), elle-même sous l’égide de la Société canadienne pour l’étude de l’éducation (SCÉÉ). L’ACCLL réunit des passionnés de recherche et d’éducation en langue et littératie au Canada principalement, sans s’y limiter.

Nous donnons une large définition à « littératie », en ce sens qu’être lettré est une question de situation et qu’on acquiert généralement diverses littératies en explorant différentes sphères linguistiques. En tenant compte de cette notion, nos membres conçoivent l’acquisition de la littératie dans un éventail de contextes de croissance, de société, de culture et d’information. Les chercheurs en langue et littératie travaillent en partenariat avec Language and Literacy: A Canadian Education E-Journal.
