- Title
A Sociocultural, Semiotic, and Cognitive Model of Postsecondary Literacy.

- Abstract
Postsecondary academic literacy comprises multiple facets: the sociocultural, linguistic/semiotic, and cognitive dimensions. This article explores the nuances of postsecondary academic literacy through a new model building upon that of Steven B. Kucer (2014). This new model integrates the sociocultural milieu in which students exist and its influences on meaning-making processes alongside the linguistic/semiotic considerations such as modality and cognitive considerations like strategic reading. Through this multi-faceted lens, we can begin to make sense of the academic demands placed upon students as related to literacy practices. By integrating theory and research into Kucer's existing model of postsecondary academic literacy, a more nuanced picture of postsecondary literacy practices emerges, as does a new model of literacy practices and processes.
