SUBJECT CODE: MS 116
TOPIC OR LESSON: 5: Social Literacy
WEEK: 10
SUB-TOPIC/S: Social Literacy
The Role of Parents and Teachers Social Skills to Children
Issues in Teaching Social Literacy
OVERVIEW OF THE TOPIC
Today’s students have grown up with the internet, with cellphones becoming something
of an extra appendage. Many can’t make it through lunch (much less a whole day)
without checking their phones or otherwise interacting with technology. Always-on
culture has been a challenge for recent graduates who entered the workforce without
the social intelligence that came naturally to their older co-workers. This situation
underscores the importance of educating students in what could be called social literacy
to ensure their academic and career success.
Social Literacy is a student’s successful performance and understanding of social
Skills, organizational skills, and communication skills. It is the student’s ability to connect
effectively with those around them. Social literacy spans across interacting with peers,
family, coworkers, teachers, and even people we may not have met face to face.
Social literacy is so crucial in a person’s success. The ability to communicate and
voice opinions and thoughts, as well as listening to opinions and thoughts of others, is
essential in learning. Firmly grasping social cues and norms is extremely beneficial. In
literally every single setting of our lives school, home, work, clubs and activities, interacting
with people (whether face to face or behind technology), we use our social literacy. We
play so many roles every day and we socially need to understand how to play those roles
appropriately. For example: I would speak differently with my friends than I would my
mother, or I would chat on Facebook differently than I would while emailing a professor.
Without an understanding of this communication, one cannot function with success in
society.
