AHE 570 - Issues in Adult Literacy

This course explores theory and research in adult literacy. Taking a broad view of literacy, we will consider issues of literacy use and acquisition in light of various social, cultural, and organizational issues. Particular emphasis will be placed on implications for ABE, GED, ESL, and workplace/workforce education. The class will provide a conceptual foundation for educators who promote adult literacy, but this is not an instructional methods course per se.
