Adult Literacy
English 386, given in collaboration with the Shriver Center, is a service learning course titled Adult Literacy Tutoring: Issues and Methods. This course explores principles and techniques pertaining to adult literacy tutoring. It introduces students to basic tutoring methods, provides background in the cultural, political, and social causes of illiteracy, and it serves as a forum for discussion of issues surrounding civic literacy and social responsibility. Students will apply the concepts and skills they develop to actual tutoring experiences. The fieldwork component of this course requires that students spend four hours per week serving as tutors to functionally illiterate adults. (Also listed as EDUC 386. Prerequisite: Engl 100 and permission of the Shriver Center.)
