Television has been seen by some as an enemy of literacy and by others as a tool for enhancing literacy. It has been used to arouse public awareness through national campaigns, to instruct in basic skills, and to motivate potential learners to seek education. According to the International Adult Literacy Survey (IALS), adults with limited literacy watch more television than other adults. They suggest, however, that this is not the cause of their low literacy but the outcome. To explore some of the ambiguities and contradictions, The Centre for Literacy of Quebec chose Adult Literacy and Television as the topic for its annual Summer Institute in 2000. The question posed was: "Has a familiar resource been overlooked?" This bibliography provides some context for the discussion. Going back to the early literature from the 1960s, The Centre for Literacy of Quebec uncovered experiments and programs that have been forgotten, and numerous insights that have been lost. One of the most obvious findings is the little attention that has ever been paid to the concept of media literacy for adults. The varied initiatives in many countries reflect divergent theories of both literacy and of learning technologies. It is the hope that this re-collection of past thinking will serve to ground the Summer Institute. Beyond that, in combination with the ideas posed by Institute participants and others, it is the hope to influence current thinking about the potential of television in relation to adult literacy. The bibliography is arranged in chronological order to show the shift in perspectives over time. The end of the document provides an alphabetical index by author with a page reference to the annotation. Keywords are under each annotation for quick reference.

A study examined the feasibility of using television to promote adult literacy and adult basic education (ABE) in South Africa. Following a review of the literature on the experience abroad in using television to promote adult literacy, a preliminary report arguing the case for using television to promote adult literacy and ABE in South Africa was prepared and sent to a wide range of specialists and practitioners in the field for their comments. Although the project aroused the interest and support of a majority of the consultants, reservations and arguments raised against the project were substantial. Therefore, execution of the project in its original form could not be recommended. However, because the consultants were unanimous in their feeling that using television to promote ABE is urgently needed, it was recommended that serious consideration be given to the possibility of establishing a research and resource center to support adult literacy and ABE programs in industry. Appendixes to this report make up nearly half the document. They include the literature review on experience abroad in using television in ABE; the preliminary report on the use of television in education and training; data on the distribution of formal education levels among adults in South Africa, the changing structure of the working population, and the occupational structure of the South African labor force; and an assessment of the need for literacy in industry.
