Additional Information
- As adult literacy methodology emphasizes the authentic experience of learners, skills are taught through an integrated approach in which content and topics are relevant to adult learners and decided upon by instructors in consultation with students. The nature of the skills taught at this level determine sequence. While Social Studies and Science are not delineated as discrete content areas, an integrated approach will incorporate such content. An integrated approach also assists learners to acquire a better understanding of themselves, their communities and their participation in Canadian society by using real- life materials, activities and experiences in their studies, which students then can apply in their daily lives. Students personal literacy goals should be reflected in the design of any ALF program.
