To give you an idea of the range of knowledge about literacy and international development, let's take a virtual tour of interesting literacy projects throughout the world. In our discussion of these projects, we focus on various policy considerations, theoretical issues, and teacher/ administrator practices associated with each project as well as important concepts such as the interrelationship between language and culture or gender and development. You can also access a reference section for each project that pertains specifically to that particular project.
|
 The projects are presented in the context of five themes that are central to our understanding of literacy: Language and Culture, Gender and Development, Teaching and Learning, Quality and Innovation, and Technology for Learning. For a brief overview of any of the themes, click on the corresponding banner below. To go directly to a specific literacy project, click on the name of that project.
