Title: $A Map for Literacy Research
Abstract: In this literature review article, the author produces a classification of literacy research through examining five actual frameworks of literacy research through their definitions of the central concept: literacy rate, functional literacy, the Freirean concept, the sociocultural framework, and 'literacies of information'. The author then organizes classic and recent research into two dimensions. The first group is for scholars defining literacy as universal or contextual, and the second group defines literacy as text management or communication. Combining these classifications with a third one, a meta-framework, produces four conceptual maps that help to make sense of the literacy research landscape.
