Literacy research focuses on studying how individuals acquire, use, and develop literacy skills and practices. This can include reading, writing, listening, speaking, and critical thinking skills across various contexts, such as education, workplace, and everyday life. Researchers in this area may examine topics such as the impact of literacy on academic achievement, social mobility, and economic success; effective strategies for teaching literacy; and the role of technology in promoting literacy. Literacy research is interdisciplinary, drawing on fields such as education, psychology, linguistics, and sociology.
