Introduction here are about one billion adults in the world who cannot engage in all those activities in which literacy is required for effective functioning in their community. This figure will probably be more than that if the number of people who do not have numeracy skills is added. Most of the people who are stack illiterate suffer from extreme poverty with women accounting for the highest number of people in the world without the skill of reading and writing. Various commitments and declarations focus on illiteracy with the goal of reducing it at least by half. From the Education for All (EFA), the CONFINTEA(s), the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and now the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), increasing literacy rate have featured prominently as one of the overarching goals to be achieved. Nigeria has been part of all of these international commitments in reducing illiteracy rate with several policy frameworks and programmes designed to ensure access and development of the basic literacy skills among adults. Despite of all of these, the level of literacy rate is still low, with the country classified as one of the E9 countries, that is countries with the highest number of people that cannot read and write, including numeracy skills. It was reported that 75 million people in Nigeria are illiterate, representing almost 47% of the population of the country (Vanguard Newspaper, 21 Sept. 2017). The failure of the various literacy programmes in Nigeria according to Faokun and Pwol (2008) can be attributed to among others the poor literate environment, the abandonment of literacy class in favour of income-generating activities, the failure to sustain literacy rates due to poor resources including funding, materials and teachers, donor dependency and negative perception of the value of education. Similarly, Quigly (2017) pointed out that generally, why most literacy campaigns have failed to meet their overtly ambitious goals has been due to limited resources, myopic policies, and lack of learner motivation. These problems are also responsible for the failure of state and Non-Government Organisations' (NGOs) initiated literacy programmes. In Nigeria, like every other country, there have been search for a literacy methodology that works. These have lead to the adoption of the Cuban literacy methodology, the REFLECT, and the Freirean methodology. Some of the literacy centres adopt the formal school system in their literacy programmes using the formal school curriculum, teaching methods, class structure, learning materials, grading system, primary school teachers, and so on. In most cases, there has been a mix of two or more methodologies, adopting a social practice model embedded in socially constructed epistemological principles (Street cited in Fransman, 2008). The social practice model is sensitive to the learner's cultural and world view. Some of the literacy practices are too bookish, and the learners, after a while due to the inability to apply the skill in their daily social, economic, and political activities, still lost the skills and became illiterate again. It is against this backdrop that a Non-governmental organization the Globavasity, started organizing literacy programmes in Rivers State Nigeria to provide a functional, enduring, and sustainable literacy skill. Globavasity a unique private initiative with self-designed materials, a short and flexible learning system for adult literacy. Globavasity is an adult literacy institution accredited by Non-governmental Association for Literacy Support Services (NOGALSS) and National Commission for Mass Education (NMEC) Abuja. Globavasity was established in the year 2001and today has more than 50 Adult literacy centers across Rivers State Nigeria and beyond, with a staff capacity of over 200 workers. Globavasity has trained over 50,000 adult illiterates and has spent over 300 million naira (Nigerian currency) single-handedly. The organization is committed to promoting adult literacy, building competences and skills for people to become functional members of their society, and to complement the government and other multilateral organization like UNESCO to achieve adult literacy goals and, by extension, the SDGs. # II. # Globavasity's Vision and Mission Our vision is to be a leading literacy education institution committed to the eradication of illiteracy, empowering people, and building a learning community. Our mission is to create learning opportunity for the unreached, build their capacity for a sustained living in a learning community. # a) How Globavasity motivate our learners From time to time in all the literacy centres of Globavasity, some form of orientations are organized to inform the learners of the benefits of literacy skills. Adult learners need to know why they are learning something new or what they are being taught before they will be ready to learn. Quigly (2017) puts it, that the adult have the right to know. In this regard, in each centre the learners are motivated to learn by emphasizing the benefits of acquiring literacy skills. What the Learners are taught, is related to their everyday community and work life, and they are also encouraged to apply what they learn in the classroom to their everyday life. From the andragogical point of view, if an adult is aware of why he/she is learning a new skill, there will be the readiness to learn, and he/she will actively participate in the class activity. Based on the basic principles of andragogy, we adopt the following practical ways of motivating the learners in the various literacy centres run by Globavasity: ? We help the learners to fulfill their needs and interest in a friendly and warm manner. ? We show respect for their culture, norms, belief, identity, and personality of the learners. ? We make effective use of our experience in teaching basic literacy using the Globavasity unique methodology. ? We ensure the immediate application of learners' learning experience, making them responsible for their learning. ? We make the adult learning process practical and activity-based as we give appropriate feedback to learners. ? We use problem-solving learning process to address learners' need such as the use of GSM, ATM, POS, Computer literacy, household appliances, and so on. ? We relate with adult learners on one-on-one bases, trust, honesty, and openness. ? We share in their delight, happiness, and problems. ? We make learning environment supportive and free from threat. ? We site/locate the learning centers where it is easily accessible. ? We encourage learners by giving them positive reinforcement or counseling. ? We involve the learners in the learning process and use the cooperative or interactive method. # b) How Globavasity Achieved Effective Basic Adult Literacy Empowerment Globavasity does not concentrate on the core literacy skills of reading, writing, and numeracy which often requires adhering to a standardized set of criteria without regard to the individual adult learners' needs and conceptual requirements. Globavasity shares some of the views of prominent scholars like Jarvis cited in Harword Logan (2012) that literacy is a dynamic concept driven by the need for specific skills of the individual to function effectively in the society they found themselves. Rather, the literacy practice of Globavasity is anchored on cultural/social literacy practice with a strong emphasis on the empowerment of learners, learner centred tuition, learner support, and a more flexible learning system. In specific terms, some of the practical steps adopted that have worked for fantastically in Globavasity over the years are: ? The institution ensures the effective preparation and motivation of learners before the learning task begins. There is an elaborate learners support system; ? We talk with the learner on a one-on-one basis rather than talking to the learners as a group (class); ? We ensure that the learning/ teaching exercise is more activity-oriented and practical based than theoretical; ? We ensure that the learners take active control of their learning rather than imposing what, when, and how they will learn as well as how they will be evaluated. We apply the non-banking system; ? We commend or reward the learners appropriately when they give a positive respond to questions; ? We make use of familiar and local examples and illustrations from their environment during the teaching/learning activity; ? We ensure the use of simple language for communication and interaction in the class; ? We combine different methods of teaching to make learning interesting, interactive and participatory; ? We make provision for a good learning environment appropriate to the age and physical condition of the adult learners; ? We monitor, assess, and evaluate the learning activities of the learners -daily, weekly, and otherwise instructed. # c) What Makes Globavasity Method Unique? Globavasity adopts a unique way of teaching literacy using basic andragogical principles. The principle is anchored on self-directed learning, ensuring that learners need to know why they learn and ensuring their readiness to learn. In specific terms, the teaching strategy is based on: ? Teaching from simple to complex or reality (sound) to familiarity (dictionary)-(use of ladder principle) ? One topic at a time mastering key topics (i.e.) topic A before topic B. (A step at a time mastering method) ? The use of a participatory method or two-way communication system with effective teacherlearners interaction and feedback. ? Instant and regular teacher-learners evaluation method. ? Progression is based on individual ability and performance. ? A reduced time frame of study (three years programme reduced to six months or six years programme reduced to one year) -straight to the point teaching method. ? Sound rhyming method -Easy to comprehend(simplified), using (a,e,I,o,u) as in ba, be,bi,bo,bu,-fa,fe,fi,fo,fu,-sa,se,si,so,su etc. Using songs ? The use of relative learning method-/ai/ as in blind, kind, find, mind, /au/-as in how, now, bow, vow, wow, cow, town, crowd. /ai/ as in -fight, tight, might, light, sight, bright, right, plight, night, etc. ? Basic literacy first -reading and writing skills before other core subjects are introduced. ? Ensure practical teaching and learning methodresult-oriented, using life histories, stories, proverbs, and poems. ? Apply the gyratory teaching method -teaching goes from topic A to topic B and C, then back to topic A in a continuous manner. At the same time, the classes and topics remain constant. ? Our programmes run full calendar -No termly holidays, no unnecessary holidays, except otherwise directed, Etc. These features are what make the Globavasity unique and different from the conventional core literacy training system. Some of the commonly adopted learning systems which is not in line with the fundamental principles of teaching adults and that of the basic assumption of andragogy and which are repugnant to Globavasity's avowed principles are: ? The observation of termly system and other holidays like former schools. ? The adoption and use of formal school curriculum or pattern -syllabus/curriculum supremacy, rather than learners generated curriculum or what is called the co-curriculum system. ? A system where primary 1 is for one year and primary 6 is for six years -high time frame. ? The number of years involved in this system to acquire basic literacy discourages learners-six years for basic literacy. ? The root learning and banking system to meet up with the broad syllabus or curriculum ? The non participatory method, where learners take active control of their learning in other to defend themselves anywhere anytime and any day. ? The learning of other subjects, such as -social studies, agriculture, basic science, and so on simultaneously without or before basic literacyreading and writing skills. ? The enrolment of learners in sectional or seasonal and termly. ? Teacher centered system. # d) Globavasity Programme Structure First Class: This is called the introductory class (table 1). The teacher coaches from page--7-to page --21-of Globavasity literacy primer. This primer involves a little of numeracy. This class is equivalent of primary 1 of formal school. Second Class: This is called the stoppers class. The instructor takes from page 22 to -62 of the Globavasity primer. It also involves some numeracy. This class is equivalent of primary 2 and 3 of formal school. Third Class: This is called the "SUFFIX" class (table 5). The tutor takes from page-63 -to page-142 of the Globavasity primer, and also teaches a little numeracy. This is the last reading and writing class. It is expected that at the end of this very class, the adult learner should be able to read and write effectively. In this class, we introduce the novel "The Orphan Girl." The novel is used to test reading skills, comprehension, and vocabulary ability of the student. This is because it is not just a story book, but is fully loaded with comprehension and vocabulary tips. This is the last basic literacy class. Also, Globavasity primer reader (part two) is used in this class and other relevant books. This class is equivalent to primary 4 and 5 of formal school. Fourth Class: This is called grammar class. This is postliteracy class. In this class, the teacher introduces to the learners courses like Social Studies, Civic Education, Basic Elementary Science, Agricultural Science, Christian Religious Knowledge, Home Economics, Health Education, English Grammar, English reading and writing, Basic Mathematics, etc. the learner is literate enough to read and so can now explore other areas of knowledge. Also, the Government-approved curriculum is used and other text books from Globavasity like: Basic English grammar, Globavasity primer reader (part 2), novels like Orphan girl by Ada Ugo and others. This class is equivalent of primary 6 and JSS 1 of formal school. There is no time limit for any of the classes; progress from one class to another depends on the individual learner's ability. The classes and curriculum (topics) are constant for any class. Then gyratory method of teaching is applied where lectures begin with topic A to B to C to D and back to topic A again in a continuous manner. Also, due to the gyratory movement of learning, some topics that were not clear at first instant may be clearer at third or fourth repeated teachings. # e) Globavasity Method of building reading skill First Class: The Introductory Class Step 1: To identify -ri, po, wu, ho, sa, je, we, fi, ga, le, di, zo, tu, va, ye, jo, ru, he, me, qui, ki, ge, xa, no, ju, fu, que, te, bo, ya, mi, qua, zu, etc. Note: ca = ka, ci = si, ce = se, co = ko, cu = ku za = xa,zu = xu, etc. Step 2:To Spell -Fe-la, Ri-ta, Gu-ru, Cu-ba, Du-ke, Luke, fa-mi-ly, ca-no-py, Fu-la-ni, de-pu-ty,ca-la-mi-ty, Ala-ba-ma, E-ne-my, Mo-ni-ca, De-ge-ma, a-go-ny, popu-la-ri-ty, A-me-ri-ca, Na-sa-ra-wa, Sa-ro-wi-wa, pi-ty, mu-ni-ci-pa-li-ty, vo-ca-bu-la-ry, I-ja-bo- Note: O-bi-si-ke= O-bi-ci-ke,si-ty = ci-ty.
