COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course will offer an introduction to recent international theories in the field of adult literacy that are known variously as social practice theories, socio-cultural theories, or "The New Literacy Studies." This approach shifts attention away from literacy as an isolated set of "skills" and encourages us to look instead at relationships, going beyond texts themselves to what people do with written texts, with whom, where, and how. It recognises difference and diversity and challenges us to consider how these differences are valued within our societies. It invites us to explore not only educational settings but informal learning, and the many other settings in which literacies play a key role. The course will explore the implications of this theoretical tradition of literacy practice, research and policy. No pre-requisite, but previous experience in the field of adult literacy will be an asset.
