Do you want to update and deepen your practice?

They promote an alternative view of people who have rich resources and skills in many areas of their lives which they can bring to the learning process.
The contributing authors have a wealth of experience as practitioners and researchers in the field. They pull together a wide range of current theory and research on adult literacy, offering new perspectives on theory and applications to everyday practice.
Key features include:
This book is an invaluable resource for trainee teachers studying on literacy specialist courses leading to teaching qualifications, as well as for experienced practitioners wishing to update and deepen their practice.
