[NLA] Vol. II, Adult Learning and Literacy

[AWilder106@aol.com]

Colleagues,

I am finding Vol II, Adult Learning and Literacy (NCSALL)(Jossey-Bass, Inc, 
2001) to be very useful in my work, particularly the chapters on "Critical 
Pedagogy" and "Research in Writing."

Degener explains Freire et al in a broad and thoughtful fashion:  no 
polemics, practical suggestions for using the ideas of critical pedagogy in 
creating programs.

Gillespie writes about adult literacy writing within the same framework.  

Both take a "social justice" perspective.  For anyone troubled by the 
sociology implicit in and revealed by the NALS these chapters would be useful.
