Overview

Over 20 years of conflict and poverty left 77% of adults (84% of females) in South Sudan non-literate. Many of these are returnees and internally displaced people. Increasing English literacy is vital, as it is now the official language for all education and business. This project will apply REFLECT adult literacy methods to English teaching in South Sudan. It follows a successful previous project but now includes non-literate learners. Each of two 18 month courses will comprise twelve months' group literacy work, followed by six months' aural practice using radio and pod cast interactive lessons. Its method emphasizes self-empowerment and inclusivity, building trust and self-confidence.
