Free Download Thomas P. Miller, "The Evolution of College English: Literacy Studies from the Puritans to the Postmoderns"
English | 2011 | pages: 344 | ISBN: 0822961164 | PDF | 1,7 mb
Thomas P. Miller defines college English studies as literacy studies and examines how it has evolved in tandem with broader developments in literacy and the literate. He maps out "four corners" of English departments: literature, language studies, teacher education, and writing studies. Miller identifies their development with broader changes in the technologies and economies of literacy that have redefined what students write and read, which careers they enter, and how literature represents their experiences and aspirations.

Literacy and Democracy in South African Primary Schools presents findings based on two research projects conducted in South African primary schools during the same time frame. Working from the South African Foundation Phase curriculum that was introduced in 2009, the first project focused on the introduction of leadership qualities and the election of classroom representatives in 3rd grade classes in four elementary schools. The other introduced process-based writing to teachers and researched the process and products of children’s stories. The book describes research experiences from the field, provides a brief overview of the history of the South African education system, and looks ahead to the future transformation of global educational systems.

Free Download Melissa Landa, "Early Childhood Literacy Teachers in High Poverty Schools: A Study of Courage and Caring"
English | ISBN: 149855587X | 2017 | 144 pages | EPUB | 1017 KB
Much has been written about the failure of White American public school teachers to effectively teach low-income children of color to read and write. Scholars have offered numerous explanations for this failure, including the reluctance of teacher preparation programs to address cultural competence and the lack of cultural diversity among teacher educators. In response to reported failures such as high attrition rates of novice teachers and low test scores, American public schools are being subjected to increased standardization of the curriculum and high stakes testing. This book provides rich illustrations of White early literacy teachers who choose to remain in low-income school communities, where they effectively and passionately embrace their students, families, and communities. Blending the teachers’ successful practices, shown in in-depth interviews excavating their identities and life experiences, with theoretical frameworks about teaching and learning, Early Childhood Literacy Teachers in High Poverty Schools: A Study of Boundary Crossing discusses the responsibility of public educators to cross geographical, economic, and political divisions on behalf of their students, and offers strategies for teacher educators to equip future teachers for these tasks.

Free Download Brian Street, "Adult Literacy and Development: Stories from the Field"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 1862015740 | EPUB | pages: 235 | 1.8 mb
This book draws upon the authors’ extensive experience in adult literacy promotion in many different countries of the developing world and in the West, as well as on the work of many others (both researchers and practitioners), to understand what literacy means in different contexts and to develop new ways in which the uses of literacy can be promoted. They advocate the use of ethnographic approaches to explore the nature of everyday literacy practices, especially those learned through informal learning. In seeking new ways of promoting literacy, they argue that the two fields of the informal learning of informal literacies and the formal learning of formal literacies can form an alliance – that each can build on the other to increase the literacy practices in everyday use. The book is brought to life with stories drawn from experience and is illustrated with photographs of adult literacy practices in different international contexts. It will appeal to all those concerned with adult literacy, including practitioners and policy makers, planners and trainers, and researchers and students in development and educational programs.
