The document discusses the participatory approach to language and literacy education. It was developed by Paulo Freire and uses themes relevant to learners' lives. The teacher acts as a facilitator, guiding students as they collaborate to find solutions to community issues. Activities include group discussions, problem-posing, pair and group work. Benefits are that students are more active, work as a team, and care about social issues. The conclusion is that this approach allows students to think critically about problems and find their own solutions.
