O knihe

A volume in Literacy, Language, and Learning
Series Editors Claudia Finkbeiner, University of Kassel;

Literacy researchers and educators are currently involved in exciting international literacy projects.
However, many in the field are not aware of these initiatives. In compiling this edited volume, our intent is to
provide a resource book for university instructors and research faculty with examples of international literacy
projects and what was learned from the projects. Chapter contributors offer stories of real people who
collaborate across nations to exchange ideas, promote literacy development, and increase global
understandings. The literacy initiatives presented in this book show how literacy colleagues have provided
opportunities for students and educators of different countries to communicate in meaningful ways. Through international literacy projects and
research, participants work to forge relationships based on mutual respect, despite their differing cultures and languages. They see their work as based
on the mutual connectedness to the human community.
