In my article, published in Cultural Circles, Volume 3, 1998, A Mutually Adaptive Learning Paradigm (MALP) for Hmong Students, I discuss how to approach literacy issues with oral cultures. There is an extensive bibliography as well. The article may be hard to locate, as the journal is somewhat obscure, so send your snail mail offline. I am also working as a consultant on the final revisions of a new English Literacy/Civics Education curriculum specifically designed for this population (with little or no formal education and/or literacy background). I can send you more info if you are interested.

My topic has emerged from my work with a group of Somali Bantu refugees. I have been teaching them literacy for a few months now. I am looking to create a curriculum based on best practices and my own experiences. Is anyone aware of studies done after 1996 (2000s are even better!) that consider the teaching of second language literacy to pre-literate adults? I will be ever grateful for any assistance and delighted to discuss these topics in more detail with anyone who is interested. Thank you for your time!
