This means that it is no longer enough for literacy teaching to focus solely on the rules of standard forms of the national language. Rather, communication and representation of meaning today increasingly requires that learners become able to negotiate differences in patterns of meaning from one context to another.

Every meaning exchange is cross- cultural to a certain degree.
This allows us to provide more "cross cultural" experiences and opportunities to our students.
