Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication presents a collection of materials on the German experience with literacy education. A timeline offers a brief account of adult literacy in the Federal Republic of Germany. "Literacy as a Problem in the Federal Republic of Germany" identifies the causes and impacts of "second-order illiteracy" (the loss of reading and writing skills acquired at school). It discusses causes of illiteracy, literacy education practice, projects, and perspectives on what needs to be done. The next section provides materials from the First UNESCO Workshop on Preventing Functional Illiteracy and Integrating Youth into the World of Work. A summary report discusses causes of illiteracy as identified by participants, including poverty, family background, and the media and illiteracy and employment. "Literacy in Industrialized Countries" summarizes conclusions and recommendations of the workshop, including definition of illiteracy/literacy, programs and measures, research, development and funding, structure and organization, implementation, and international cooperation. Experts' comments on literacy follow. The next section is a short history of literacy education since 1946. "The Federal Republic of Germany Preparing for International Literacy Year 1990" (Traugott Schoefthaler) introduces several ways of international cooperation in promoting reading and writing as cultural techniques. "Towards Basic Education for All" (Kurt Mueller) expands upon this German point of view. Appendixes include 26 references and a list of addresses of literacy agencies. (YLB)

This book was released on 1986 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was not until the end of the 1970s that public debate on the problem of functional illiteracy among adults began in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). Even afterward, Germans were reluctant to admit that illiteracy was a problem in their country. Literacy education efforts began at the local level, and the first national conference on adult literacy was held in Bremen in 1981. After increasing focus on the relationship between illiteracy and unemployment, German adult educational institutions began to respond to specific educational needs. As a result, literacy instruction is now offered by almost 280 adult educational institutions. The development of literacy education in the FRG can be divided into experimental, consolidation, and transition phases. Since the late 1970s literacy provision has grown rapidly, although significant differences still exist between program offerings in rural and urban areas. A qualitative improvement in the respect accorded to conditions for illiterate individuals has accompanied this growth in literacy instruction. The following program elements may be said to characterize adult literacy programs in the FRG: contact to students, initial advice to students, consideration of the learning situation of illiterate adults, development of specific methods of teaching reading and writing, and provision of sociopedagogical support and counseling. Efforts are underway to expand the areas served by literacy programs, integrate numeracy and other basic skills into literacy programs, and improve existing programs through a research and development effort.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to UNESCO's statistics, the number of illiterates in the world is verging on one million. A conservative estimate of the number of children who have no access to schooling brings that figure to more than one hundred million. School failure, brought about by overcrowding, poor facilities, unqualified teachers, and lack of materials only adds to the problem. The authors in this volume cover the many facets of the fight for literacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We came to the task of editing this book from different disciplines and back grounds but with a mutuality of interest in exploring the concept of literacy campaigns in historical and comparative perspective. One of us is a professor of comparative education who has participated in and written about literacy campaigns in Third World countries, notably Nicaragua; the other is a com parative social historian who has written on literacy campaigns in Western his tory. Both of us believed that literacy could only be understood in particular As Harvey Graff has noted, "to consider any of the ways in historical contexts. which literacy intersects 'with social, political, economic, cultural, or psychological life ... requires excursions into other records.") Thus, we have set out in this edited collection to explore some five hundred years of literacy campaigns in vastly different societies: Reformation Germany, early modern Sweden and Scotland, the nineteenth-century United States, nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Russia and the Soviet Union, pre Revolutionary and Revolutionary China, and a variety of Third World countries in the post-World War II period (Tanzania, Cuba, Nicaragua, and India). In addition, we have included studies of the UNESCO-sponsored Experimental World Literacy Program and recent adult literacy efforts in three industrialized Western countries (the United Kingdom, France, and the United States).
