Literacy Megacourse Summer 2024 The Literacy Megacourse at DIU prepares a student to do literacy in contexts having little or no tradition of literacy, no instructional materials exist and where there may or may not even be an alphabet.
The Need for Literacy Most developing and emerging countries have subpopulations that have little or no tradition of literacy. There are few instructional materials, and languages spoken by such populations may even lack an alphabet. If anyone in such a population is literate, it is because they went to school in a second language and became literate in that language, not their own language.
Why Take the Course?
Are These Skills Useful in the US? Yes! In the last 50 years, large populations of refugees and immigrants have come to the US from developing countries. In many cases, the adults are not literate, and the children have little or no education either. Without literacy, such adults will spend their lives working in low-paying jobs because of their lack of literacy.
Earn Credit toward an MA Earn 9 graduate credit hours, which is 1/4 of DIU’s MA in Language & Culture Studies (Literacy specialization).
