DEVELOPING
FUNCTIONAL
LITERACY
Learning Objectives:
At the end of 60 minutes lesson, the student’s
should be able to:
1. enumerate ways of participatory approach;
2. value the importance of participatory
approach; and
3. demonstrate participatory approach.
FUNCTIONAL
LITERACY?
• is the ability to manage
daily living and
employment tasks that
require reading skills
beyond a basic level
“FUNCTIONAL
LITERACY”
vs
“LITERACY”
• “Literacy” refers to the
ability to read or write at
any level. An illiterate
person will not be able to
understand or to produce
any text at all.
• “Functional Literacy”
refers to practical skills
needed to live a normal
life.
HOW CAN
WE IMPROVE
“FUNCTIONAL
LITERACY”
• we need to select
activities that
practice real-world
skills. The ideal
method is the
“Participatory
Approach”.
PARTICIPATORY
APPROACH
• Also know as Freirean
approach, is a teaching
strategy that incorporates
themes or content area that
are interest to the learners.
• is a brainchild of Brazilian
language educator Puolo
Freire.
• through the concept of
freire, opposes the old
“banking method”
The Participatory Approach
• The main goal of this approach is to have every students
as well as the teacher, actively participating in the
activities.
• This approach changes the role of the teacher. Instead of
us giving instruction and then stepping back to allow
students to work, the teacher works together with the
students.
• This approach forces us to practice our micro-teaching
skills, as we help learners to accomplish the goals that
we set.
• We must use realistic materials, because we
are training students for realistic situations.
• For large classess it is imposible to give each
student individual attention. So, we have
students wok in pairs or small groups, and
give attention to the group as a whole.
• Our activities must also include extra-textual
components such as picture, logos or
objects, to reflect the realistic nature of the
activities.
