Abstract

Being literate through engaging with literature in literacy and multicultural education will open students’ horizon. In the globalization era there are ample of cultures young learners can learn in addition to their own which guide them to build a good relationship for better worldly networking in their future. Through the wide range of multicultural materials, students of the majority culture like those from Indonesia learn to respect other peoples’ insights and contributions and develop an understanding of technological and social change in this era. This paper highlights how multicultures found in multicultural literature need to be considered by teachers in literacy education (LE) and multicultural education (ME) for young learners to instill complex layers of personal, national, and world identities into individual students.
