Facilitating Cultural Diversity in Adult Literacy Programs.

Martin, Larry G.

New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, n48 p17-29 Win 1990

Culturally derived barriers to participation--such as negative social-structural forces and culturally insensitive programs--hinder minority participation in literacy education. Effective programs empower learners to become critically reflective citizens aware of the structural forces affecting their lives while helping them acquire needed skills and knowledge. (SK)
