Download or read book Literacy and the Unemployed written by Stephen Black and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between literacy and unemployment was examined through two research activities: a review of changing patterns of unemployment, changing directions in adult literacy and basic education in Australia, and literacy programs for unemployed people and interviews with a sample of 27 Commonwealth Employment Service (CES) clients who had been referred by the local CES office to a technical and further education (TAFE) college in the metropolitan west of Sydney. Of the 27 interviewees, 16 (60%) were happy to have been referred to TAFE literacy programs. Nearly all those who welcomed referral to TAFE were from non-English-speaking backgrounds, and only three were Australian born. Interviewees' age and work aspirations and prospects also affected their attitudes toward enrolling in TAFE. Even those who were reluctant to enroll in TAFE generally believed that enrolling in TAFE would be in their best interests. Most interviewees attributed their unemployment to their low literacy skills rather than to the recession. Policymakers were advised to bear in mind that, although literacy is vitally important for many jobs, low English literacy skills do not automatically render people unemployable or nonfunctioning members of society.

Download or read book Improving Adult Literacy Instruction written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-04-26 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A high level of literacy in both print and digital media is required for negotiating most aspects of 21st-century life, including supporting a family, education, health, civic participation, and competitiveness in the global economy. Yet, more than 90 million U.S. adults lack adequate literacy. Furthermore, only 38 percent of U.S. 12th graders are at or above proficient in reading. Improving Adult Literacy Instruction synthesizes the research on literacy and learning to improve literacy instruction in the United States and to recommend a more systemic approach to research, practice, and policy. The book focuses on individuals ages 16 and older who are not in K-12 education. It identifies factors that affect literacy development in adolescence and adulthood in general, and examines their implications for strengthening literacy instruction for this population. It also discusses technologies for learning that can assist with multiple aspects of teaching, assessment,and accommodations for learning. There is inadequate knowledge about effective instructional practices and a need for better assessment and ongoing monitoring of adult students' proficiencies, weaknesses, instructional environments, and progress, which might guide instructional planning. Improving Adult Literacy Instruction recommends a program of research and innovation to validate, identify the boundaries of, and extend current knowledge to improve instruction for adults and adolescents outside school. The book is a valuable resource for curriculum developers, federal agencies such as the Department of Education, administrators, educators, and funding agencies.
