Adult Literacy and Democratic Renewal in the New Scotland.

Crowther, Jim; Tett, Lyn; Galloway, Vernon

Studies in the Education of Adults, v31 n2 p210-19 Oct 1999

Adult literacy education can contribute to the political change process in Scotland by shifting from a narrow functional approach to a more critical one. The critical approach recognizes vernacular literacies and focuses on developing competence in diverse literacies and on identifying the contexts in which they should be used. (SK)
