Literacy for life
adult learners,new practices
by Hanna Arlene Fingeret
Using data based theory development, Literacy for Life examines the process through which life change happens, based on in-depth profiles of five participants in an adult literacy education program. The authors explore why some adults seem to experience change more positively and profoundly than others. Tehy also address the nature and role of shame in inhibiting change, and the role of the environment and community. This book places learners-rather than the educator or educational program-at the center of their own learning and change. Most importantly, this book will help educators understand the complex process through which adults use literacy to change their lives, not just their test scores.
