?:abstract
  • Since the 1980s, adult literacy has been taken up as a topic of national interest by media, think tanks, literacy advocacy groups and government in Canada. IALS has been influential in framing this as a national issue, but it was not the first, or even the principal, catalyst. Notwithstanding the attention given to adult literacy over the past two decades, according to official surveys and national examinations, the literacy abilities of Canadians have changed very little since the first major survey was conducted in 1987. A comprehensive paper on the influence of IALS in Canada would require an overview of how influence has played out in each province and territory where jurisdictional responsibility for education resides. Instead, in our paper we look at Canada as a whole and the construction of a national adult literacy issue, despite the jurisdictional divisions in the country. We present an overview of the influence of adult literacy and IALS in Canada, and discuss how influence has happened in adult literacy here. We conclude with some general thoughts on adult literacy, IALS and the construction of a national adult literacy agenda in Canada. (xsd:string)
