   –   Language development
   –   Type of bilingualism
   –   Relationship: language and content
   –   Language policies for the bilingual development

¿Literacy – analfabeta?
                          g
“Illiteracyembodies a language and a set
of practices that underscore the need for
developing a radical theory of literacy that
takes seriously the task of uncovering how
particular forms of social and moral
regulation produce a culture of ignorance
of stupidity crucial to the silencing of all
potencially critical voices”


                Aronowitz
•Functional literacy



•Critical literacy
Functional literacy
• Develops skills (writing – reading)
• Addresses issues of social purposes in contexts of use
• Defines the uses of reading and writing to achieve social
  purposes in contexts of use
• Teaches participants to achieve their social objectives
• Accepts means of communication as something given
  and natural
• Admits the natural status of dominant institutions and
  social discourses
• Helps individuals function within a given society in order
  to participate and achieve their own goals
Critical literacy
•    Questions the natural status of dominant institutions and
     discourses
•    Deals with finding out how something works
•    Looks below the surface of things and events, asking
     questions such as:
    1. Why does this exist/happen?
    2. What is its purpose?
    3. Whose interests does it serve?
    4. Whose interests does it frustate?
    5. How does it operate?
    6. Need it operate like this or could it be done differently and
         better?
•    Gives powerful tools for developing critical thinking
•    Conceives language as a powerful social practice
•    Develops a critical awareness of social purpose and whose
     interests are being served by it
•    Regards critical reflection as a dimension that must be
     complemented with action

Literacy/Illiteracy
• They function as a way of labelling and
  grading people. It also categorizes people
  into educational haves and have-nots
• Being in the have-not group creates what
  Freire calls “a culture of silence”
• Illiteracy implies a form of political and
  intellectual ignorance as well as a possible
  instance of class, gender, racial, or cultural
  resistance.

Critical pedagogy
• Student’s voice must be heard
• Students need to be introduced to a language of
  empowerment and radical ethics
• Teachers should provide students with the
  opportunity to interrogate different languages or
  ideological discourses
• Critical educators are also learners
• Students and teachers can dialogue and
  struggle together in order to make their
  respective positions heard out/inside the
  classrooms.
