The training programme "AlphaPlus" offers a new approach to promoting literacy in adults. The total of seven modules can be deployed individually or as a complete basic education programme. The materials to promote literacy were developed as part of the BMBF-funded project "AlphaPlus" on the basis of neuro-scientific findings. "AlphaPlus" references everyday professional situations and is also suitable for individuals with a native language other than German. The manual offers information about working with "AlphaPlus" for course coordinators: It introduces the topic functional illiteracy, offers a detailed description of the programme modules available online, and reports about initial practical experiences.weiterlesen
