What's Hot, What's Not 2009
Each year, in December, the National Literacy Trust interviews professionals from research, policy, practice and the media about a range of literacy issues. Interviewees are asked to indicate whether a certain topic is "hot" (i.e. currently a topic of debate and research) or "not hot" (i.e. not currently receiving a lot of attention). In addition, interviewees are asked whether these topics should or should not be a focus of research and debate in the coming year. A similar survey has been conducted in the US since 1967.
This is the second year that The National Literacy Trust has carried out the study to present an overview of what's hot and what's not for the coming year.
