Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to argue that there should be integrated literacy programs in Indonesia to support K-12 literacy educators, in this case, ESL/EFL educators, to promote their students’ literacy in the English language. With its emphasis on getting back to the foundation of literacy – connections between reading and writing – the programs provide multimodal resources and various ways of organizing literacy instruction inside and outside the classrooms. A balanced approach to literacy instruction will be the main framework that will be employed in literacy instruction programs.
