Multiliteracies in Rural Communities: The "Revuelto y Mezclado" of Home and Community Literacy Practices of Midwestern Emergent Bilingual Families

Families moving to new settings mix and blend languages as they are influenced and shaped by their new social contexts and the languages around them. This unique phenomenon has been described as language contact or linguistic transformation (Fishman, 2001; García, 2009). Little research, however, has been conducted related to the dynamic languages and literacies that are created when families possess multiple linguistic resources. This study intends to address this gap by examining the multilingual multiliteracies of families' households in two rural Indiana communities, bringing more texture to our current understanding of the "revuelto y mezclado" among rural multilingual families. [This study was made possible by the United States Department of Education's Office for English Language Acquisition's National Professional Development grant.]
