Talking about Literacy: Principles and Practices of Adult Literacy Education - Jane Mace - Hardcover

Talking About Literacy is a book addressed, primarily, to adult educators and trainers engaged in promoting other people's critical and confident use of reading and writing. It is also intended to be of interest to anyone curious to examine their own assumptions about literacy and illiteracy. Relating a set of ideas about literacy and learning to a range of examples from adult education and training, Jane Mace also addresses the social context in which people read and write, whether for recreation or for academic and vocational purposes, and argues that creative uses of literacy cannot be divorced from a narrow view of its 'functions'.Mace, Jane is the author of 'Talking about Literacy: Principles and Practices of Adult Literacy Education - Jane Mace - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780415080446 and ISBN 0415080444.
