| Summary: | "This portrait of one teacher's implementation of principles gleaned from the work of Paulo Freire results from an 18-month ethnographic study of an adult women's literacy class in rural EI Salvador. It is the first in-depth study, with systematic data collection, of a Freirean-based program through a sociopsycholinguistic literacy lens. The central question the authors set out to addresses is: Using what is known about how people learn to read and write - cognitively, linguistically, socially, and developmentally - what relationships can be seen between these developmental processes involved in becoming literate and the essential aspects of Freirean-inspired curriculum? Purcell-Gates and Waterman sought to see and to understand for themselves how adults in the literacy program learned to read and write as they transacted with the Freirean curriculum, and what such a class could look like in action." "It is a book for all teachers, teacher educators, and researchers who are interested in, and curious about, Freirean-literacy instruction."--Jacket. |
