1) Literacy competence

Literacy is the ability to identify, understand, express, create and interpret concepts, feelings, facts and opinions in both oral and written form, using visual, sound/audio and digital materials across disciplines and contexts. It implies the ability to communicate and connect effectively with others in an appropriate and creative way. Development of literacy forms the basis for further learning and further linguistic interaction. Depending on the context, literacy competence can be developed in the mother tongue, the language of schooling and/or the official language in a country or region.
