Course Description
The MA Adult Literacy, Lifelong Learning and Development: International Perspectives is intended for those working in adult education and basic literacy, particularly in international and community development programmes. This pathway consists of a specialist unit on adult literacy, lifelong learning and international development; a unit on educational research methods; and a dissertation, focused on the student’s individual area of interest.
We welcome people working in policy, planning and evaluation roles, as well as teachers, NGO activists and literacy facilitators. Whilst we envisage that many of our students will be working in countries of the global South, in Asia, Africa and South America, the course is also appropriate for those working in the UK, US or Europe who are interested in developing a new perspective on their work. All applicants should have a real interest in the field of adult literacy and lifelong learning. Although approaches to adult literacy teaching and learning and curriculum development will be explored – including functional literacy, REFLECT and Freire – this is not a hands-on ‘teacher training’ course. This course will however provide you with critical insights and research skills for taking forward and developing innovative adult literacy and lifelong learning programmes, or for doing doctoral level research in this area.
