With a radically new perspective on reading, writing and mathematics for adults, this refreshing and challenging book shows how teachers and curriculum developers have much to gain from understanding the role of literacy in learners’ lives, bringing in their families, social networks and jobs. Looking at the practicalities of how teachers and students can work with social practice in mind, Adult Literacy as Social Practice is particularly focused on:* how a social theory of literacy and numeracy compares with other theoretical perspectives* how to analyze reading and writing in everyday life using the concepts of social literacy as analytical tools, and what this tells us about learners’ teaching needs* what is actually happening in adult basic education and how literacy is really being taught* professional development.With major policy initiatives coming into force, this is the essential guide for teachers and curriculum developers through this area, offering one-stop coverage of the key concepts without the need for finding materials from far-scattered sources.
