Next: Purpose of the project Up: Tamil Literacy without Teachers Previous: Tamil Literacy without Teachers

Introduction

Funding from sponsors of US$20,000 is here solicited to support the following pilot study to validate a new self-study literacy methodology in Tamil Nadu, over a three month period. We will refine the instrument, enlist local resource people and carry out controlled experiments in several villages in South India, with the aim of discovering whether it is effective and if so to estimate the magnitude of the effect and the cost for mass-scale delivery.

You are invited to explore the technical concept at http://sprex.com/literacy as well as test your own performance in learning the Tamil alphabet following this method.

Please help us: help us to improve this proposal with your comments; help us to find funding to support this worthy project; help us by writing a check so that we can get to work! Thank you very much.
