Lydia Tan-Chia retired as Lead Specialist II after 35 years of proudly serving the Singapore Ministry of Education in the areas of curriculum design, curriculum development, curriculum implementation, and the design of assessment for English Language as a subject in every school and year level. She had the propitious opportunity of collaborating with the co-author as a research fellow in his research on Multimodal Literacy which has since become an area of compelling interest and growing fascination. In the course of the collaboration, she saw how the research schools worked with the concept and practice and brought it to life in their classrooms, weaving the teaching of multiliteracies with thought and integrity into their English curriculum.
