Recently we published a book of stories and poems written by migrant workers. We have some of the stories in a website. The purpose was, among other things, to learn about their experience from them. They had knowledge that we didn't have that allowed them to write the stories that they did. This is very Freirian. Most of the stories are in Spanish and we are working on translating them to English so that we can put them all up in the website. Anyways, here is the address: http://bordersenses.com/memorias/ Andres >>> lalumineuse@yahoo.com 9/2/2005 8:34:25 AM >>> Good point Andres...I prefer calling it knowlegde.. but would learners see it as knowledge? I've found that learners often devalue what they know because it does not 'fit' the 'norm' of what is 'sold' as 'knowledge'. So, how do we value or 'teach' learners to see what they have as knowledge?
