Target Language Text Resources

To support teachers in implementing multiliteracies pedagogy, this repository offers a wide range of online resources to find authentic written, audio, audiovisual, and visual texts in a variety of languages. 

How do we define target language texts? Target language texts have three important components:

  1. They are multimodal, meaning that they reflect written, audiovisual, visual, or digital modes, or a combination of two or more of these modes.
  2. They are socially and culturally situated, meaning that they reflect the products, practices, and perspectives of their creators and intended audiences.
  3. They are created for some real-world purpose other than language learning.

Target language texts in this repository are thus things like podcasts, newspapers, movie trailers, and infographics. They are not things like grammar guides, scripted dialogues for beginning learners, or vocabulary lists.
