The same person speaks differently in their work life and personal life.

What is Multiliteracy?
Multiple categories of reading and writing. all communicators develop different reading and writing skills for different reasons during their lives. People speak differently to different people depending on your relationship to them- these are markers of “different life-worlds”. public, personal, and professional life.

Successful writing is contingent on audience and context- this is something that changes constantly depending on who you are talking to and in what context.

“We all write, read and speak differently.” As we learned in English Education, as educators we want to meet our students where they are at.

“All communicators develop different reading and writing skills.”
As an educator it is important to acknowledge this fact to ensure that you are teaching and evaluating each student in a way that benefits their learning. This can be seen when differentiating instruction and designing tests and assessments.
