Community Literacy Journal 6.2 (Spring, 2012) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781602353978)

COMMUNITY LITERACY JOURNAL 6.2 (Spring 2012) The journal understands "community literacy" as the domain for literacy work that exists outside of mainstream educational and work institutions. It can be found in programs devoted to adult education, early childhood education, reading initiatives, lifelong learning, workplace literacy, or work with marginalized populations, but it can also be found in more informal, ad hoc projects. For COMMUNITY LITERACY JOURNAL, literacy is defined as the realm where attention is paid not just to content or to knowledge but to the symbolic means by which it is represented and used. Thus, literacy makes reference not just to letters and to text but to other multimodal and technological representations as well. We publish work that contributes to the field's emerging methodologies and research agendas. CONTENTS: ARTICLES: "Intellectualizing Adult Basic Literacy Education: A Case Study" by Kelly S.
