| dc.description.abstract | The 2007 MLA challenged Language, Literature, and Culture (LLC) departments to create a more integrated curriculum combining language, literature, and culture. Although the MLA report inspired some reform efforts, it provided little guidance on implementation. To address this, adopting a multiliteracies framework was proposed as a way to incorporate textual content into language courses. Over a decade later, this study explored how U.S. Language Program Directors (LPDs) who implemented such a curriculum navigated challenges and why the uptake of the MLA's recommendations has been slow. The study revealed that while LPDs continued to use existing textbooks, they supplemented them with additional materials and assessments to support multiliteracies-based instruction. However, LPDs faced significant challenges, including increased workload and limited support from colleagues. | |
