Owen G Mordaunt, Matthew McGuire

Abstract
The New Literacy Studies, sometimes called NLS, refers to a body of work that started in the 1980s and applies to how technology and literacy impact our lives, identities and social affiliations. NLS developed from linguistics, history, anthropology, rhetoric and composition studies, cultural psychology, education, and other fields of study.

The paper also makes a few comments about the importance of technology in teaching English in contexts other than USA classroom.
