     summary: 2 0 0 9 19 Literacy, Learning and Health – A social practices view of health literacy UTA PAPEN A b s t r a c t In this paper, I use a social practices view of literacy to challenge dominant conceptions of health literacy. Health literacy is frequently defined as an abstract skill that can be measured through individual performance tests.

     summary: With education and numerous other background variables statistically controlled, their multivariate analyses found evidence of program impact on literacy practice measures but not on literacy proficiency measures. Without the use of literacy practices measures, a systematic connection is not evident in these data between programs and proficiency.

     summary: These include the role of literacy in relations of interdependency and mediation, especially the delicate balances of inter-generational support and control, negotiating the boundaries of public and private knowledge, and the importance of considering trust, fear and respect as factors in supporting literacy practices among older people that are acceptable to them. Obviously, the details and literacy practices of older people will differ considerably under different social, cultural, economic, political and geographic conditions.

     summary: There has been little attention paid to the complex ways that ESOL women learners learn a new language and use literacy within their networks, including their strategies and resources for overcoming problems and advancing. Using a gendered social practice perspective (Norton 2000, Robinson-Pant 2004, Moss 2007, Cuban forthcoming), I show that the views of immigrant women learners and staff in CBOs, on learning, persistence, and literacies, were outside the dominant lens of participation, outlined above.

     summary: In place of dominant institutional constructions of literacy, the focus shifts instead to the meanings of literacy practices as viewed by people themselves in a range of different social contexts. Further, his study indicates that engagement in literacy practices over time leads to increases in literacy proficiency, thus strengthening the case for practice-based pedagogy and measures in adult basic education programs.

     summary: Although more states now offer some type of new teacher orientation, either online, face-to-face, or text-based (National Adult Education Professional Development Consortium 2007), access to professional development— particularly in-service training—is additionally limited by adult literacy teachers’ part-time status, lack of paid professional development release time, and difficulties attending professional development activities: Currently, the conditions of the ABE occupation are such that those in the field will never be able to participate systematically in the very activities they see as necessary to doing their jobs well. In some states, this represents a net gain in the amount of professional development teachers can attend.

     summary: By establishing a uniform reporting framework and supporting it with high quality training, the NRS helps states to establish data systems, collect high quality data, and use NRS data for program improvement. However, though NRS training sessions encourage and support the use of accountability data for program improvement, some NRS policies and practices limit the usability of NRS data for that very purpose.

      flesch: 67
     summary: This article offers a way of explicating such literacies by showing how the analysis of an audio-recording of a particular occupational activity, namely the reporting of a service request, can render visible particular key literacy features. Support for such a stance can be traced to the seminal theoretical work of Street (1984), Gee (1995) and Barton, Ivanič and Hamilton (1999), ethnographic studies of literacy practices, policy initiatives and teachers’ reflections, especially those focusing on pedagogy in workplace settings.

     summary: Some might argue that as survivors of these challenging situations they would have very sophisticated ‘street’ literacy and numeracy skills and experiences from which the classroom literacy and numeracy teachers could draw. We also took groups of student teachers for one-off observations over a much longer period (four groups during a 12 month period).

       title: The Grit in the Oyster – does an appreciation of threshold concepts in an adult literacies teaching qualification result in pearls of practice
        date: 2010-08-06

      flesch: 55
     summary: We require students to build an understanding not only of the repertoire required for adult literacies practice but also to appreciate and engage with what Kirkwood (1990:11) termed ‘the forces beyond our control’ — i.e. the hegemony, ideologies and structural inequalities that shape and influence our lives and the lives of the literacies learners with whom we are engaged. The program involved regional groups of students coming together in study blocks for each module (each of a week in duration); undertaking work- based learning in which the principles of the program are explored in literacies practice; and engaging with a virtual learning environment (VLE) to scaffold learning in each module, linking students with their peers and actively encouraging dialogue and collective reflection through an on-line community.

     summary: t The public health dimensions of road safety literacy for novice drivers who speak English as a foreign language, are a concern due to increasing transnational mobility. Evidence of the learner-driver’s life history, use of multiple languages, and cultural differences are shown to impact on her development of road safety literacy.

     summary: Heterogeneity marks also the personal aspects: differences among students in a group, between student bodies and among teachers are – in the author's view – as important as the shared common ground of adult mathematics learning and their teaching. The text does not discuss empirical research undertaken by the author; it examines her broad personal teaching experience in the light of the above-mentioned body of knowledge and proposes directions for the development of adult mathematics education.

     summary: Her argument is not for these particular tacit literacies to be 'added' into the training packages; rather it is that work practices cannot be pre-packaged, and literacy practices in particular, emerge in particular contexts and in localised circumstances. This issue of Literacy and Numeracy Studies offers a selection of articles that illustrates the diversity of sites in which researchers of adult literacy and numeracy are working.

     summary: Rather, as a form of political interventionism, a political project of critical literacy and numeracy is one that is performed through collective and materialist frameworks with attention paid to the dialectical interplay between relations of signification and production (Ebert 1996). The relentless push of neoliberalism has diminished the capacity for critical literacies and numeracies to flourish under conditions that promote individualism and social contracts of self-care.

     summary: While responses vary, many teachers adopt an approach where they can comply with the prescriptive demands of audits, though often in a minimal fashion, and at the same time teach in a way that fits within their philosophy and practices as ABE teachers. U D I E S The context for this current paper shifts to more than a decade on, and it features ABE teachers involved not just in workplace literacy programs, but more broadly, in mainstream ABE programs conducted in technical and further education (TAFE) colleges, the main public vocational education and training (VET) institutions where most accredited ABE programs in Australia are delivered.

      flesch: 60
     summary: In discussing the inevitability of professionalisation the paper draws on a small-scale research project to locate a space for the professional imagination, a space in which ALLN practitioners express motivations at odds with policy imperatives and enact professionalisation in ways that arguably hijack the momentum and resource that the policy provides. Professionalisation implicates ALLN practitioners in this recreation of learner subjectivities (Hamilton 2009).

     summary: However, it also illustrates how academic numeracy requires more than being able to ask the critical questions; it requires the ‘reader’ to also engage with the questions in mathematical ways, and this reinforces the view that while literacy and numeracy are inseparable in many instances, numeracy practices are more than special examples of literacy practices. The importance of highlighting the creative dimensions in the way NLS pursue the study of literacy practices is borne out of the observation that Karin Tusting and Uta Papen make that while literacy practices are socially and culturally contingent, they are not socially determined.

     summary: The papers which have been included in this issue of Literacy and Numeracy Studies illustrate that what is regarded as being literate or numerate depends on the definition of literacy or numeracy that is adopted at a particular time in history and in a particular context. As Hartley and Horne point out in their article which reviews recent literacy research, lack of literacy has been linked to poverty, poor health and criminal behaviour.

     summary: A considerable amount of work on health literacy benefits and costs has been carried out and some comprehensive summaries and discussions of research exist (for example, Rootman and Ronson 2003, Berkman, DeWalt, Pignone, Sheridan, Lohr, Lux, Sutton, Swinson and Bonito 2004, Shohet 2004). Some interest was evident in the late 1980s leading up to International Literacy Year, 1990 (for example, Miltenyi 1989, Singh 1989, Hartley 1989); however, there has been little work done in the area since then, with the exception of recent studies concerned with financial literacy costs and benefits (Commonwealth Bank Foundation 2005).

     summary: This relationship is one of the lynchpins of constructivist learning theory, and instructional programs in mathematics, especially those designed for adult students returning to study mathematics, must develop both aspects simultaneously to be effective. Such components of the affective domain have been discussed widely in the literature for many years (eg Tobias 1993, Higbee and Thomas 1999), especially in the adult education literature where historically, high levels of mathematics anxiety (for example) have been recorded in adult students returning to university study (Benn and Burton 1993, Benn 1997, O'Donoghue 2000, Taylor and Mohr 2001).

     summary: Mathematical understanding in workplace training In workplace training, mathematical concepts are generally engaged with within a ‘task context’ (Wedege 2002:70), where the production of a performative solution is required; for example, that of producing a cut length of pipe to meet given specifications. In workplace training there are situated forms of mathematical understandings at play, which are a consequence of the need for mathematics to serve a purpose, to complete a task, or to produce a physical output.

The American myth of success: placing success stories in context Success stories of the kind told in adult literacy programs are not new.

     summary: I have used some terms in this paper with some quite defined meanings for this context: emergent literacy refers to behaviours observed in young children who are still ‘playing to learn’ either at home or at preschool and are typically aged from birth to five-years-old (Barratt-Pugh and Rohl 2000); early literacy refers to a child’s literacy development when the formal teaching of literacy begins – at school (Hill, Comber, Louden, Rivalland and Reid vol 2 1998); family literacy refers to literacy at home and is the child’s first experience of this world. i a n a B A T 53 Finding 3: Family literacy in this community is effectively being controlled through the bureaucratic power structures that are in place The only observed literacy materials available in this community are owned and controlled by government-run agencies.

     summary: Employer value judgements While employers seem confident that employing an apprentice from a trades family is all that is required, these stories seem to indicate that focused support needs to be provided to enable trades family apprentices to extend their trades identities so that they encompass not only on-job learning, but also off-job and distance learning. The paper discusses implications for integrating apprentice support for both formal and informal learning.

     summary: Both Direct Instruction tutors (myself and an Education Queensland trained school teacher) were mature age, with academic, vocational, life, parenting and other teaching and training experience to draw on. Pearson argues that, because remote communities can expect inexperienced teachers, with a low retention rate, Cape York schools must rely on instruction as the defining factor of quality teaching, ie „committed teacher + effective instruction = quality teaching‟ (Pearson 2009:39).

     summary: The second article by Judy Hunter and Margaret Franken shifts our gaze to health literacy in New Zealand. The authors argue that the assumption that sits behind dominant discourses about health literacy is that patients’ health improvement is impeded by poor compliance with medical advice resulting from patients’ being unable to properly read the relevant medical information texts.

     summary: Whilst VET is promoted to retrenched workers, the specific benefits of a qualification arise from the ability of a worker to utilise them, which is in part determined by that worker’s networks and in part by the relative value of the qualification and the worker in the eyes of the employer. These studies noted the confluence of factors working against retrenched workers in re-entering the workforce, and recognised the broad social benefits to workers of holistic support and integrated learning programs.

     summary: Ideally in health literacy programs, the teaching of literacy is ‘embedded’ or ‘integrated’ in the health context. In the program outlined in this paper, there were clearly several layers of complexity, making the program unique, and thus we need to be wary of drawing implications from it for other health literacy programs.

Norton and Toohey (2011) note that although language learners may be deeply affected by structural conditions, such as a lack of resources, their social relationships or historical backgrounds, they also have the ability to calibrate or realign their relationships with fellow speakers.

     summary: As the author points out, without an understanding of phonics, literacy teachers may provide less-than-helpful, or even incorrect guidance to their students. The early chapters of this welcome book justify a role for phonics – hitherto neglected – in the teaching of adult literacy.

     summary: Nonetheless, the retention of adult literacy participants remains an ongoing challenge, both in terms of instructional effectiveness and to ensure robustness of research findings. According to the 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL), 30 million U.S adults are considered to be at the Below Basic level in literacy skills, skills that allow one to search and comprehend printed text (Kutner, Greenberg, Jin, & Paulsen 2006).

     summary: In fact, as a recently re-released collection of country studies reveals, literacy campaigns have a much longer history, going back several centuries, and have occurred under many different types of regimes and in very different historical and political contexts (Arnove and Graff 2008). i While mass literacy campaigns are the subject of an extensive research literature in the field of international and comparative education (e.g. Abendroth 2009, Arnove and Graff 2008, Bhola 1984, 1999, Freire 1978, Miller 1985), they are not a feature of the Australian literacy landscape.

     summary: Family literacy programs Internationally, family literacy programs have predominantly focused on parents’ support of children’s school-based literacy skill development, emphasizing how adults can assist their children’s school learning and including how to encourage and model literacy behaviours valued by schools, a process through which adults may enhance their own abilities. The purposes of family literacy programs may be seen as supporting children’s school literacy development and learning, supporting adults’ literacy development for their own purposes or both.

     summary: Despite the common usage of the language of social practices, it has been our experience as teacher educators within the TQAL project that few practitioners have accessed any of the primary literature of social practices theory. Certainly the expectation was that I would make such judgements: ‘How ultimately are you going to analyse whether a particular person’s view of social practices approach is the right one?’

     summary: In particular, it traces the history of the uptake and embrace of literacy practices by the people of Ngaanyatjarra Lands of the Western Desert region, centred in the community of Warburton in Western Australia. It traces the way in which access to interpreting Western culture was facilitated through the early practice of Bible reading and how literacy practices went on to be developed and used by young adults, versed in the modern style of literacy through schooling and Bible colleges, to deal on behalf of elders and their communities with government agencies, governance issues and land rights claims.

     summary: It is contended that it is acknowledging and understanding this process of emerging identity, and reconciling this process with the multiple meanings of ESL literacy programs, which creates the space for participation to be made more engaging for learners. The three statements below typically express the understanding which many students held that English language and literacy skills are essential in order for them to have access to the opportunities afforded to members of Australian society within the context of employment, further study and social discourse.

     summary: For instance, NALA’s set design relies on videos recorded by adult learners (social design) to portray literacy as everyday life-enhancing experiences (epistemic design). Regrettably, in many cases, the lack of appropriate design represents a major barrier for adult literacy learners to be able to participate independently in online activities (Silver-Pacuilla 2008, Warschauer and Liaw 2010, Smythe 2012).

This is dangerous for without a civic and moral core it could easily lead to a snazzy twenty-first-century version of an old and shameful pattern in American education: working class people get a functional education geared only toward the world of work.

     summary: While the idea of literacy and numeracy being critical dimensions of pedagogy may be easy to accept in principle, the idea of taking responsibility for students’ literacy and numeracy development may not be so simple in practice for teachers who identify as experts in the electrical trades, or child care, or hospitality. Sonja Beeli-Zimmermann writes about adult educators learning to become numeracy teachers in a German-speaking town in Switzerland.

      flesch: 53
     summary: And while the difference between everyday mathematics and school mathematics can be considered one important element accounting for this unexpected constructivist dominance, there are two other possible explaining influences, namely their previous experience as adult education teachers and their training as numeracy teachers. Two exceptions are Stone (2009) who examined how the institutional context affects numeracy teachers’ beliefs and classroom practice, and Henningsen and Wedege (2003) who looked at attitudes among mathematics teachers in adult education.

     summary: To be effective, adult reading teachers need expert knowledge at practitioner level. Given the complexity of the reading process, to be effective, adult reading teachers must be informed about the reading process and be able to respond to specific reading-skill needs in their teaching (Condelli, Kirshstein, Silver-Pacuilla, Reder and Spruck Wrigley 2010, National Research Council 2012).

      flesch: 58
     summary: Thus the study examines the genesis of the field in NSW through the lens of a theory of professional practice knowledge that encompasses the socio-political background against which development of adult basic education practice has taken place. Furthermore, the chosen methodology of narrative inquiry validates the place of the researcher as a participant in the inquiry, a position which I value in the case of my relationship to this study, as a long-term practitioner in the field. Reflections of adult basic education practices were collected using semi-structured interviews and focus groups with participants selected on the basis of their longevity in the field, evidence of their active engagement in the field and representation across the key periods of change and sites of provision.

     summary: We eagerly await more research, like that of Pinsent-Johnson (2015), documenting the mechanisms through which ALN policy and practice are aligned, locally and globally, but also studies that investigate what enables, and limits, educators’ attempts to prioritise the human needs of ALN students over the documentary demands of current policies. We hope to see more work that contributes to a detailed interrogation of ALN policy as an active social process.

     summary: When making reference to individuals’ practices (as opposed to institutional practices) the term eHealth literacy is used and it describes: ‘the ability to seek, find, understand, and appraise health information from electronic sources and apply the knowledge gained to addressing or solving a health problem’ (Norman and Skinner 2006:2). This means that their search activities are spread out over days, they alternate between using computers, tablets and mobile phones, and they perform searches for health information from their work, the bus or even their bed.

Brian Street deserves a much greater acknowledgement for his contributions to literacy research and pedagogy and to this Journal than this editorial can do justice to, however, it is difficult to conclude this editorial without expressing the feeling of a deep loss to the field as a result of his death in June this year.

     summary: Our literature review revealed the sociological concept of investment and the psychological concept of motivation to be key elements in teaching adult learners (Blackmer and Hayes- Harb 2016; Darvin and Norton 2015; Dornyei 1994; Norton-Peirce 1995; Norton and Toohey 2011; Zarei and Zarei 2015). While motivation concerns the internal struggles of adult learners, investment aims to uncover the social barriers learners face when learning a language (Darvin and Norton 2015).

     summary: Table 6 Distinguishing and manipulating euro currency: We can see that levels of difficulty with currency conversion would vary from country to country; for example, they were considerably less difficult in the case of the Slovak Republic (exchange rate about 30 to 1), Belgium (about 40 to 1), Germany (about 2 to 1) and Portugal (about 200 to 1) than in most other Eurozone countries.

     summary: The second article in this issue is a contribution from Debbie J. Severinsen, Lori K. Kennedy and Salwa H. Mohamud, three adult literacy practitioners who were interested in understanding teaching strategies that would help to increase investment and motivation in adult literacy learners. Together, the article by Severinsen et al. and the review by Quinn provide adult literacy practitioners with resources for reflection on their teaching.

     summary: From literally thousands of compositions and essays, a picture gradually forms about the general qualities of student writing. Some systematisation of student writing is possible, and desirable, if we want to develop a program that addresses these issues.

     summary: The impact of workplace learning programmes extends beyond the workplace and into the personal lives of employees. Here, for example, literacy and numeracy are embedded into learning programmes; facilitators and employees take a collaborative approach; what is taught and learned is negotiable; literacy is seen as a social practice; and developing employees happens for work, and social and wellbeing purposes.

      flesch: 54
     summary: There has been an increasing tendency to consider literacy, and therefore the field of literacy education in which we are engaged, in an increasingly restricted form. There was not just optimism about the potential of literacy education, there was an expansive imagination about what it could all mean.

     summary: The chapters in Part I describe a number of numeracy practices, with special attention to ‘what “surrounds” the numeracy practices, what it is that gives them meaning’ (p. 19). And to say that numeracy practices are political is to acknowledge more than their bases in power relations.

     summary: While acknowledging the increasingly narrow skills focus of literacy programs in many countries and the potential dangers for adult educators who work against this trend, St Clair urges literacy educators to work with the learners to help them use language and literacy to express and shape their lives and experiences, rather than limit the learning to what is dictated by policy. Like the authors of the first paper, St Clair believes in the empowering potential of literacy and offers Basil Bernstein’s ideas of restricted and elaborated codes as a resource for literacy educators to reflect on their practice.

     summary: Academic writing teachers need to think of how they could develop a wide pedagogical repertoire which takes into account the learners’ perceptions and identities about language learning so that their own teaching practice could improve. In order to challenge Western notions, ESL teachers need to know their local contexts and students well enough in order to explain the complexities that arise within an education system that is continually shaped by historical and socio- political shifts in the country.
