She claims that such anapproach can change conventional notions of workplace literacy, improvecommunication practices throughout enterprises and help adult learnersrealise they have acquired much useful information in their lives that can bebuilt on in their workplace learning. In addition, through further learningusing learner-centred methods, they will be able to ‘transform’ rather than‘adapt to’ conditions in their workplace.
