Working Papers on Literacy is an initiative of The Centre Literacy. Though this occasional series of monographs, we hope to broaden perspectives and stimulate debate on literacy-related issues.
Some of the papers in the series will be reprints of articles that have previously appeared in our newsletter, Literacy Across the Curriculum, and have generated interest and requests for copies. Others will be papers that we have produced as outcomes of our research projects.
The views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the philosophy of The Centre for Literacy. We welcome responses.
Three articles reflecting a debate on literacy between two schools of thought which have been variously called the autonomous and the socio-cultural.
