Education and Patterns of Communication In a Situation of Restricted Literacy.

Meyer, Barbara

Scottish Educational Review, v14 n1 p23-30 May 1982

Interaction between oral and literate modes of communication in a predominantly oral culture is discussed in the Islamic context of West Africa. Communication is viewed as transmission of knowledge in a formal learning situation (a one way process) and as an informal shared process between literate and nonliterate community members. (BRR)
