These modules are placed together to encourage dialogue among teachers about new ways to approach the study and teaching of Literacy. The hope is that the pragmatic slant described here will assist others in looking for "home-grown", workable approaches that could solve Literacy problems.
This module presents some ideas in the field of Communication and Language for use by teachers in Trinidad and Tobago. It is necessary to understand these concepts in order to see how they relate to classroom interaction and the teaching and learning of Literacy. This last point is made clearer in the modules: "Improving Literacy through Communication Experiences" and "An Alternative Language Experience Guide for Teachers"(See related links).
This course introduces teachers in Trinidad and Tobago to some possible links between Language, Communication and Literacy in our local contexts. All students and interested persons are welcome to sample the ideas here. Any of the modules/sections can be a convenient starting point.
This module seeks to encourage teachers to see themselves as writers. This is one way of improving their own writing skills and readying themselves to teach writing. It also seeks to link the reading habit to the act of writing. The ideas came from the expressed needs of student teachers in Trinidad and Tobago.
