University of Michigan doctoral candidate Jennifer L. Hall, with the guidance of Dr. Judith T. Irvine, will undertake research on the relationship between contemporary programs to promote adult literacy and the historical dynamics of social division and social control. The research will be carried out in Morocco, where there is an innovative approach to adult literacy education called "passerelle." Passerelle aims to teach adult women to first write their mother tongues, Moroccan Arabic or Berber, using Standard Arabic orthography before transitioning them to broader Standard Arabic literacy skills. The research methods to be employed in the study include long-term participation observation, interviews, surveys, and focus group sessions. The researcher will identify pre-existing, locally meaningful notions of literacy and examine how the language ideologies of literacy learners, their teachers, and Moroccan educators influence and are influenced by their experiences with passerelle literacy programs. The researcher will examine women's relationships towards literacy materials before and after participation in the program. By using a multi-sited research design and by interacting both with women currently enrolled in literacy classes as well as women who completed literacy training over four years ago, the researcher will identify the short-term and longer-term social and political consequences of participation in passerelle based literacy programs. This research will contribute to social science theory by investigating how the selective valuation of certain language varieties and literate traditions over others may become entwined with other mechanisms of social control. The research also will help education policy makers and development specialists design more effective adult literacy education courses. This project contributes to the education of a social scientist.

密歇根大学博士候选人Jennifer L.霍尔博士的指导下，朱迪思T。欧文，将进行当代节目之间的关系，以促进成人识字和社会分工和社会控制的历史动态的研究。这项研究将在摩洛哥进行，那里有一种称为“Passerelle”的成人扫盲教育创新方法。“Passerelle的目标是教成年妇女先用标准阿拉伯语正字法写她们的母语，摩洛哥阿拉伯语或柏柏尔语，然后再把她们过渡到更广泛的标准阿拉伯语识字技能。 研究方法包括长期参与观察、访谈、问卷调查、焦点小组讨论等。 研究人员将确定预先存在的，当地有意义的识字概念，并研究如何识字学习者，他们的教师和摩洛哥教育工作者的语言意识形态的影响，并通过他们的经验与passerelle识字计划的影响。 研究人员将审查妇女在参加该方案之前和之后与扫盲材料的关系。 通过使用多站点的研究设计，并通过与目前参加扫盲班的妇女以及四年前完成扫盲培训的妇女进行互动，研究人员将确定参与Passerelle扫盲方案的短期和长期社会和政治后果。 这项研究将有助于社会科学理论，通过调查如何选择性地评价某些语言品种和文化传统，而不是其他人可能成为与其他社会控制机制。这项研究还将帮助教育政策制定者和发展专家设计更有效的成人扫盲教育课程。这个项目有助于社会科学家的教育。
