Shifts in Environmental Literacy in Multilingual Contexts: The Lebanese Case.
Cortazzi, Martin
Mediterranean Journal of Educational Studies, v6 n1 p31-47 2001
Discusses the multilingual print environment in Lebanon's streets and shops, which reflects global and local changes in environmental literacy that represent wider notions of literacy from which students may learn. Provides examples of slips and errors between languages to show how environmental literacy can be problematic. Suggests that multilingualism is valid but may present incorrect examples to learners.
