Question: What can be
learned by literacy educators from observing students’ use of literacy outside
of school?
Answer/Quote: “Also, in
India, Ethiopia and Uganda, as we have seen, there are examples of adult
literacy educators going out into the streets and marketplaces to find out what
the learners whom they will encounter in educational contexts are actually
doing with literacy in their everyday lives so the educators can build on this
while developing the new literacy
practices that the learners will need.” P. 226.
Comment: Makes sense. Knowing students’ literacy
practices outside of school can help teachers connect formal literacy needs
with what the students already use in their daily literacy practices. Knowing
how to connect the two is another issue. RayS.
