It is time to review the schedule for the placement of your session in the AAACE Agenda. This is the final draft of the Schedule. When you look up your name, use the detail listing to check what days/times you asked to be placed. This is a huge program and we can accommodate necessary changes in day and time now, but may not be able to do so after September 1, 2013 except in emergencies. Please carefully check your placement and send any requests to Ginger Phillips, AAACE Conference Planner with AAACE Session Change Request in the subject line. We will respond to your email, but it may take us up to a week to do so. Thanks for your help in "fine tuning" this agenda!

Type of Presentation
Concurrent
Session Abstract
This paper examined the contributions of the University of Ibadan Community Radio to the promotion of functional literacy skills. Functional literacy is defined as the skills and knowledge required of individuals to continue functioning in this ever-changing world.
Target Audience
The conference participants, especially those with specialization on Literacy development and lifelong learning
Learning Outcomes
Through this season, learners will be able to know different approaches/strategies adopted in Nigeria to reach out to the unreached and busy business men for literacy and educational well-being. The learner will also be sensitized on how the University of Ibadan, the oldest University in Nigeria, is being responsible and responsive to societal needs through its community radio.
Session Description
This paper will further reveal the importance of community radio and indigenous languages' usage in literacy programs and adult learning. It is very important to note here that various innovations and technologies are being discovered on daily basis across the globe, therefore, sharing information about what is obtainable in a particular society which can be replicated in another land is also important. The symposium session is preferred because of the fact that it accommodates the gathering various presenters in a room to share their works and experiences in their various fields and countries.
Efforts are made to try to schedule sessions on the day preferred by the Primary Presenter, though this cannot be guaranteed. Please check your preference.
