Facilitating Cultural Diversity in Adult Literacy Programs.
Martin, Larry G.
New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, n48 p17-29 Win 1990

Effective programs empower learners to become critically reflective citizens aware of the structural forces affecting their lives while helping them acquire needed skills and knowledge. (SK)
