But could there be such a thing? If there was such a thing, what would it teach us about discourse analysis for language? The question about whether there could be a feld devoted to the discourse analysis of games does not ask whether we can analyse games. We can analyse any semiotic system. However, to linguists, discourse analysis builds on syntax and semantics (Gee 2014a). That is, discourse analysis takes as its beginning point 'sentences' or 'utterances' that have already been assigned a structure (syntax) in terms of basic units and their combinations and a semantics in terms of the basic ('literal') meanings of these units and their combinations. Discourse analysis analyses language in use and it deals with meanings that go beyond semantics and involve context and inference. In my view, discourse analysis studies two closely related things (Gee 2014a). We can call these 'packaging' and 'fow'. First, discourse analysis studies how things are said and written and how they could have been said or written differently and what difference it makes that they were said or written the way they were. For example, why does someone say or write 'It took only an hour for my house to burn down in the fre' versus 'My house took only an hour to burn down in the fre'. In these two sentences information is packaged (combined) in different ways, using the syntactic resources of language with different intentions and expected effects. And, of course, this information could have been packaged into more than one sentence, for example: 'My house burned down in the fre. It took only an hour.' By the way, it is sometimes argued that there are no sentences in speech (see Gee 2014a for further discussion of this issue). This is, as far as I am concerned, not true. The basic rules of syntax determine what counts as a sentence. Of course, in speech, sentences are often more loosely organised and often more fragmented. Furthermore, intonation plays a major role in what count as units on the order of clauses and sentences.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="63237fcf760708a6c68a82fdd4b546d5" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":120892493,"asset_id":127110857,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/120892493/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="127110857"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="127110857"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127110857; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=127110857]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=127110857]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 127110857; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='127110857']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "63237fcf760708a6c68a82fdd4b546d5" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=127110857]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":127110857,"title":"Discourse analysis of games","translated_title":"","metadata":{"publisher":"Informa","grobid_abstract":"A feld of discourse analysis applied to video games does not yet really exist.

But, of course, the idea that art ought to concentrate on the authentic rendering of the object in all its immediacy and particularity goes well beyond Williams and, indeed, well beyond poetry as an art form. The authentic rendering of the perceived object is one of the wellsprings of art, and has played a central role in many critical theories. Let me take one instructive example, among many: Victor Shklovsky, the great Russian Formalist critic and writer, added to the importance of the perceived object in art his notion of ostranenie (defamiliarization, "making strange"), and concluded that: [.. .] art exists that one may recover the sensation of life; it exists to make one feel things, to make the stone stony (Lee and Reis 1965:12). Williams, also, wanted to make the stone stony. He also saw a crucial link between the object, perceived as "an arrangement of appearances, of planes," and supra-individual human emotional states and experiences. And Williams too added an additional notion to the importance of the perceived object in art, this was his famous concept of "local consciousness." Let me quote Bram Dijkstra on this point: Williams saw one's immediate environment, one's "locality," as the only source of that universal experience which, he thought, "great" art expresses. Such universal experience was communicable only on the basis of an authentic perception of the objects of the material world, which, he reasoned, could only stem from an accurate representation of the things we know, the things with which we are intimately familiar: the "sensual accidents" bred out of "the local conditions which confront us" (Dijkstra 1978:8).</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="cbb453be9a21363422430e128d4a9c32" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":118783131,"asset_id":124584759,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/118783131/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="124584759"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="124584759"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 124584759; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=124584759]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=124584759]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 124584759; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='124584759']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "cbb453be9a21363422430e128d4a9c32" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=124584759]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":124584759,"title":"The Structure of Perception in the Poetry of William Carlos Williams: A Stylistic Analysis","translated_title":"","metadata":{"publisher":"JSTOR","ai_title_tag":"Perception and Local Consciousness in Williams's Poetry","grobid_abstract":"Perception played a key role in the aesthetics of William Carlos Williams.

I have pointed out several times that most of the (head) brain is composed of modules that process data and make decisions for reasons humans do not consciously know. These modules are encapsulated (sealed off) from the conscious part of the brain. The conscious part of the brain contains six systems. One is the Interpreter. The Interpreter uses whatever overt information it has to compose stories and explanations about what we have done or felt. These stories and explanations are often inaccurate, sometimes wildly so, for two reasons. First, we have no conscious access to a great deal of what goes on in our unconscious brain modules and in all the biological and chemical processes going on inside and around us, all of which affect us deeply.

For the nation, broad-based literacy is a prerequisite for the effective functioning of democratic institutions at home and for continued competitiveness in an increasingly complex world. We think of the United States as a highly literate nation, and in the sense that nearly all citizens can read and write at a minimal level, it is. But full literacy implies far more than basic reading and writing proficiency. It implies an enculturation into ways of thinking, interpreting, and using language in a variety of complex activities and settings, typical of a rapidly changing and technologically advanced society. Moreover, it implies that this enculturation is widespread throughout the population. In both these senses, the U.S. is only partially literate. A good indicator of our current state of literacy is the recent National Assessment of Educational Progress report on literacy in young adults. This report showed that 95% of the young adults in the U.S. could read and understand the printed word. Yet only a small percentage could carry out moderately complex tasks using their literacy skills. These tasks were relevant to the real world of work and daily life, such as locating and using information in tables, graphs, forms and schedules, or applying arithmetic operations in combination with printed materials, as in balancing a checkbook or completing an order form. There was a dramatic dropoff in the number of young adults who could succeed as the tasks became even moderately difficult. Furthermore, minority subjects performed even less well than non-minority subjects in the study. On tasks such as synthesizing the main argument from a lengthy newspaper column or examining a menu, computing the cost of a specified meal and determining the correct change from a specified amount, only about 40% of the White subjects, 10% of the Black subjects and 20% of the Hispanic subjects were successful. Results such as these highlight a pervasive failure on the part of our schools in teaching the analytic and critical thinking skills that underlie high level literacy, a failure that disproportionately affects low-income and minority students. This failure makes a mockery of the principles of equal opportunity and equal access to schooling, and threatens America's standing as a technologically competitive nation. Previous research on reading and writing in this country has had a limited positive impact on educational practice. This is, in part, because research has tended to fragment the phenomenon of literacy.

It implies an enculturation into ways of thinking, interpreting, and using language in a variety of complex activities and settings, typical of a rapidly changing and technologically advanced society.

A good indicator of our current state of literacy is the recent National Assessment of Educational Progress report on literacy in young adults.

These tasks were relevant to the real world of work and daily life, such as locating and using information in tables, graphs, forms and schedules, or applying arithmetic operations in combination with printed materials, as in balancing a checkbook or completing an order form.

Here he maintains that some good video games engage players with an important type of play, namely of play as discovery, of play as surmising new possibilities in a given environment. The game Portal exemplifies this form of play, a form designed to give players a smart tool that enables them to see these new possibilities and use them in innovative ways. The author concludes with a discussion beyond games of young people using smart tools to become Pro-Ams, that is, amateur experts at something for which they have developed a passion. I want in this paper to talk about video games and play. But let me start with games and learning. In past work, I have argued that good video games are learning engines. Good commercial video games are, for the most part, highly engaging problem-solving spaces. Since video games are often long, difficult, and complex, they must get themselves learned and mastered in effective ways. If they could not be learned and mastered in a motivating fashion, no one would play them, at least not for entertainment.

But could there be such a thing? If there was such a thing, what would it teach us about discourse analysis for language? The question about whether there could be a feld devoted to the discourse analysis of games does not ask whether we can analyse games. We can analyse any semiotic system. However, to linguists, discourse analysis builds on syntax and semantics (Gee 2014a). That is, discourse analysis takes as its beginning point 'sentences' or 'utterances' that have already been assigned a structure (syntax) in terms of basic units and their combinations and a semantics in terms of the basic ('literal') meanings of these units and their combinations. Discourse analysis analyses language in use and it deals with meanings that go beyond semantics and involve context and inference. In my view, discourse analysis studies two closely related things (Gee 2014a). We can call these 'packaging' and 'fow'. First, discourse analysis studies how things are said and written and how they could have been said or written differently and what difference it makes that they were said or written the way they were. For example, why does someone say or write 'It took only an hour for my house to burn down in the fre' versus 'My house took only an hour to burn down in the fre'. In these two sentences information is packaged (combined) in different ways, using the syntactic resources of language with different intentions and expected effects. And, of course, this information could have been packaged into more than one sentence, for example: 'My house burned down in the fre. It took only an hour.' By the way, it is sometimes argued that there are no sentences in speech (see Gee 2014a for further discussion of this issue). This is, as far as I am concerned, not true. The basic rules of syntax determine what counts as a sentence. Of course, in speech, sentences are often more loosely organised and often more fragmented.

The question about whether there could be a feld devoted to the discourse analysis of games does not ask whether we can analyse games. We can analyse any semiotic system. However, to linguists, discourse analysis builds on syntax and semantics (Gee 2014a). That is, discourse analysis takes as its beginning point 'sentences' or 'utterances' that have already been assigned a structure (syntax) in terms of basic units and their combinations and a semantics in terms of the basic ('literal') meanings of these units and their combinations. Discourse analysis analyses language in use and it deals with meanings that go beyond semantics and involve context and inference. In my view, discourse analysis studies two closely related things (Gee 2014a). We can call these 'packaging' and 'fow'. First, discourse analysis studies how things are said and written and how they could have been said or written differently and what difference it makes that they were said or written the way they were. For example, why does someone say or write 'It took only an hour for my house to burn down in the fre' versus 'My house took only an hour to burn down in the fre'. In these two sentences information is packaged (combined) in different ways, using the syntactic resources of language with different intentions and expected effects.

Humans became able to take and consider different perspectives, including the perspectives of others and even of fictional, fantastical, and spiritual beings. We came to think about the real and the unreal, the living, the dead, the undead, and the afterlife. We gained knowledge of not just pain-all animals have that-but of suffering, meaningless suffering, and death. We came to be haunted by ghosts of all different sorts. And we came to populate our minds with the judgmental voices of others, of our social groups and cultures, and of our ancestors, myths, religions, and sacred texts.

But, of course, the idea that art ought to concentrate on the authentic rendering of the object in all its immediacy and particularity goes well beyond Williams and, indeed, well beyond poetry as an art form. The authentic rendering of the perceived object is one of the wellsprings of art, and has played a central role in many critical theories. Let me take one instructive example, among many: Victor Shklovsky, the great Russian Formalist critic and writer, added to the importance of the perceived object in art his notion of ostranenie (defamiliarization, "making strange"), and concluded that: [.. .] art exists that one may recover the sensation of life; it exists to make one feel things, to make the stone stony (Lee and Reis 1965:12). Williams, also, wanted to make the stone stony. He also saw a crucial link between the object, perceived as "an arrangement of appearances, of planes," and supra-individual human emotional states and experiences. And Williams too added an additional notion to the importance of the perceived object in art, this was his famous concept of "local consciousness." Let me quote Bram Dijkstra on this point: Williams saw one's immediate environment, one's "locality," as the only source of that universal experience which, he thought, "great" art expresses. Such universal experience was communicable only on the basis of an authentic perception of the objects of the material world, which, he reasoned, could only stem from an accurate representation of the things we know, the things with which we are intimately familiar: the "sensual accidents" bred out of "the local conditions which confront us" (Dijkstra 1978:8).</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="cbb453be9a21363422430e128d4a9c32" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":118783131,"asset_id":124584759,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/118783131/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="124584759"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="124584759"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 124584759; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=124584759]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=124584759]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 124584759; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='124584759']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "cbb453be9a21363422430e128d4a9c32" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=124584759]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":124584759,"title":"The Structure of Perception in the Poetry of William Carlos Williams: A Stylistic Analysis","translated_title":"","metadata":{"publisher":"JSTOR","ai_title_tag":"Perception and Local Consciousness in Williams's Poetry","grobid_abstract":"Perception played a key role in the aesthetics of William Carlos Williams.

Such universal experience was communicable only on the basis of an authentic perception of the objects of the material world, which, he reasoned, could only stem from an accurate representation of the things we know, the things with which we are intimately familiar: the \"sensual accidents\" bred out of \"the local conditions which confront us\" (Dijkstra 1978:8).","owner":{"id":163466673,"first_name":"James","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Gee","page_name":"JamesGee","domain_name":"asu","created_at":"2020-07-12T18:31:12.161-07:00","display_name":"James Gee","url":"https://asu.academia.edu/JamesGee"},"attachments":[{"id":118783131,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/118783131/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"d1970aa881ecb04ba31c520715f5fb801569.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/118783131/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"The_Structure_of_Perception_in_the_Poetr.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/118783131/d1970aa881ecb04ba31c520715f5fb801569-libre.pdf?1728515409=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_Structure_of_Perception_in_the_Poetr.pdf\u0026Expires=1742048873\u0026Signature=AVkNgglhyANMVnGiU774WaajU9t7dO0uo~9AULtiBUwwmyJ1aiCDrZz4OFyslSE6h3O3pceu68MuXQAtgRKkRvPOy9Z8A39k-EwTLyyfCgbYusdnn0VmeII~wunwW73CaT0-LCWMNZkzh3eRev50OPU4Z~itmIrbdA837Lr2T7VCdB2nScI9ARkJ8kQSPd0dTJHjAYkTTrxiqTCbTTzcQZEu~TG8Hjd52dsduvfEyHKbOYRAzF1h6qSCBukxKDJPvCQbSO41mqaWGPmXgw5TNOC0SDjVOFRyiSh0Kf3OhnGdanWSnANWo1lu~Hlyzgb2kFPD~1NkU7o~hOVykL70aQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":803,"name":"Philosophy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Philosophy"},{"id":867,"name":"Perception","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Perception"},{"id":1236,"name":"Art","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Art"},{"id":3581,"name":"Poetry","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Poetry"},{"id":52408,"name":"Literary studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Literary_studies"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="124584724"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/124584724/Oral_Discourse_in_a_World_of_Literacy"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Oral Discourse in a World of Literacy" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/118783123/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/124584724/Oral_Discourse_in_a_World_of_Literacy">Oral Discourse in a World of Literacy</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Preeminent scholar David Olson opens this symposium with a reflection on the decades-long debate ...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Preeminent scholar David Olson opens this symposium with a reflection on the decades-long debate concerning the relationship between written and oral discourse.

For the nation, broad-based literacy is a prerequisite for the effective functioning of democratic institutions at home and for continued competitiveness in an increasingly complex world. We think of the United States as a highly literate nation, and in the sense that nearly all citizens can read and write at a minimal level, it is. But full literacy implies far more than basic reading and writing proficiency. It implies an enculturation into ways of thinking, interpreting, and using language in a variety of complex activities and settings, typical of a rapidly changing and technologically advanced society. Moreover, it implies that this enculturation is widespread throughout the population. In both these senses, the U.S. is only partially literate. A good indicator of our current state of literacy is the recent National Assessment of Educational Progress report on literacy in young adults. This report showed that 95% of the young adults in the U.S. could read and understand the printed word. Yet only a small percentage could carry out moderately complex tasks using their literacy skills. These tasks were relevant to the real world of work and daily life, such as locating and using information in tables, graphs, forms and schedules, or applying arithmetic operations in combination with printed materials, as in balancing a checkbook or completing an order form. There was a dramatic dropoff in the number of young adults who could succeed as the tasks became even moderately difficult. Furthermore, minority subjects performed even less well than non-minority subjects in the study. On tasks such as synthesizing the main argument from a lengthy newspaper column or examining a menu, computing the cost of a specified meal and determining the correct change from a specified amount, only about 40% of the White subjects, 10% of the Black subjects and 20% of the Hispanic subjects were successful. Results such as these highlight a pervasive failure on the part of our schools in teaching the analytic and critical thinking skills that underlie high level literacy, a failure that disproportionately affects low-income and minority students. This failure makes a mockery of the principles of equal opportunity and equal access to schooling, and threatens America's standing as a technologically competitive nation. Previous research on reading and writing in this country has had a limited positive impact on educational practice. This is, in part, because research has tended to fragment the phenomenon of literacy. Studies have isolated aspects such as the texts students produce or read, students' individual cognitive processes while composing or comprehending text, and the social and institutional settings in which literacy practices take place. But ignoring the complex interrelations among the individual, social, and textual creates fundamental obstacles to understanding what it means to acquire literacy skills in school.

For the nation, broad-based literacy is a prerequisite for the effective functioning of democratic institutions at home and for continued competitiveness in an increasingly complex world. We think of the United States as a highly literate nation, and in the sense that nearly all citizens can read and write at a minimal level, it is. But full literacy implies far more than basic reading and writing proficiency. It implies an enculturation into ways of thinking, interpreting, and using language in a variety of complex activities and settings, typical of a rapidly changing and technologically advanced society. Moreover, it implies that this enculturation is widespread throughout the population. In both these senses, the U.S. is only partially literate. A good indicator of our current state of literacy is the recent National Assessment of Educational Progress report on literacy in young adults. This report showed that 95% of the young adults in the U.S. could read and understand the printed word. Yet only a small percentage could carry out moderately complex tasks using their literacy skills. These tasks were relevant to the real world of work and daily life, such as locating and using information in tables, graphs, forms and schedules, or applying arithmetic operations in combination with printed materials, as in balancing a checkbook or completing an order form. There was a dramatic dropoff in the number of young adults who could succeed as the tasks became even moderately difficult. Furthermore, minority subjects performed even less well than non-minority subjects in the study. On tasks such as synthesizing the main argument from a lengthy newspaper column or examining a menu, computing the cost of a specified meal and determining the correct change from a specified amount, only about 40% of the White subjects, 10% of the Black subjects and 20% of the Hispanic subjects were successful. Results such as these highlight a pervasive failure on the part of our schools in teaching the analytic and critical thinking skills that underlie high level literacy, a failure that disproportionately affects low-income and minority students. This failure makes a mockery of the principles of equal opportunity and equal access to schooling, and threatens America's standing as a technologically competitive nation. Previous research on reading and writing in this country has had a limited positive impact on educational practice. This is, in part, because research has tended to fragment the phenomenon of literacy. Studies have isolated aspects such as the texts students produce or read, students' individual cognitive processes while composing or comprehending text, and the social and institutional settings in which literacy practices take place. But ignoring the complex interrelations among the individual, social, and textual creates fundamental obstacles to understanding what it means to acquire literacy skills in school.
