Project: English Literacy in the Digital Age: A Strategic Imperative

Objective: To articulate the critical and evolving role of English literacy in the 21st century, moving beyond traditional grammar and composition to frame it as an essential skill for digital communication, global citizenship, and economic opportunity.

My Role: Literacy Strategist & Presentation Architect

I was responsible for the end-to-end development of this strategic presentation, from foundational research and conceptual framing to the facilitation of a forward-thinking dialogue.

Key Contributions & Process:

• Strategic Framing & Content Architecture:

  • Researched and synthesized trends in digital communication, global economics, and education to build a compelling case for modern literacy.

  • Architected the entire presentation around a central, objective-driven thesis, ensuring a logical flow from defining the problem to presenting actionable insights.

• Engagement & Critical Dialogue:

  • Developed and facilitated a series of provocative discussion inquiries designed to challenge assumptions and connect the topic to participants' personal and professional realities.

  • Guided the audience beyond surface-level comprehension toward a profound contemplation of literacy as a dynamic tool for empowerment, collaboration, and navigating the digital landscape.
