Austrian Literacy Association

Austrian Literacy Association Umbrella organisation of Austrian literacy educators and institutions dealing with research, teaching and promotion of reading and writing.

The main aims of ALA - Austrian Literacy Association are to create a network of those who work in research, teaching and promotion of reading and writing, to disseminate knowledge, both in relation to current research, models of and experiences with the teaching of reading and writing and its promotion, and to produce public awareness of the significance of current developments in relation to (onl

ine and offline) reading and writing and its effects on the micro-, meso- and macro-levels of societies. The substantive work of the association concerns itself with the promotion of literacy research from the international domain. It integrates this work with research and practice that have been characteristic for the German speaking area. Together they bring work in ‘practices’ of reading and writing into focus, as in the work of the New Literacy / Literacies Studies; as well as work in research on contemporary forms of ‘texts’; on issues of identity through processes of meaning making by readers and writers; and linking such work with the social-semiotic approaches of Multimodality. We are part of FELA (Federation of European Literacy Associations) and IDEC (International Development in Europe Committee of the International Reading Association) and therefore actively involved in international exchange.
