Abstract
This practitioner-oriented chapter focuses on ways that teacher educators can foster English Language Development using a multimodal and multiple literacies approach (e.g., Gee, 2003). Specific methods and digital tools that prepare educators to use technology to foster English Language Development are described and specific resources that can be used are identified. Connections to theory and recent related research provide a strong rationale for broader implementation of multimodal and digital literacies into a wide variety of teacher preparation courses and programs across global contexts in online, blended, and face-to-face classes within teacher preparation programs. We focus on both low-tech and high-tech options to address the issues of digital divide and access to technology in the United States and beyond.
