This is an encompassing review that addresses all aspects of
literacy (reading, numeracy, and technological literacy, for
example) with a global perspective. It connects the objectives of
literacy education with broader areas of social welfare, including
health, employment and political and economic empowerment.
The second volume in a new annual series, this unique publication
for practitioners in the field of adult learning and literacy
collects in one yearly volume the best new knowledge and practice
advances identified by the prestigious, Harvard-based and
federally-funded literacy center, NCSALL. A single, ‘user-friendly’
source for information on best practices in the field of adult
learning & literacy.
The editors’ introduction in each volume covers news from the world
of policy and research, while six distinguished writers and
practitioners contribute articles on the most pressing topics in
adult literacy. Each volume also includes annotated reviews of the
best books and key journal articles published in the past year.
