Ethnographic Approach to Literacy
In order to really know what literacy practices people are involved in their daily lives, an ethnographic research approach should be adopted. This will give a better insight in what literacy practices people are involved in their daily lives, rather than going with a prepared list of questions. A research ought to interact with people to discover what they are doing in the area of reading and writing. The researcher then writes the case study showing how literate people are without having necessarily attained formal education.
