This follow-on project will deliver major new benefits by capitalising on, and greatly extending, the impacts of the project 'South African Modernism 1880-2020'.Our original project establishes the foundational, pioneering, and ongoing contributions made by South African writers to global modernisms. This research is now generating unforeseen educational, social and cultural benefits for 16-18 year-old learners and their teachers by supporting changed content and methods of teaching of the English Literature A-Level at 15 Further Education (FE) providers in the UK.Through our proposed programme of activities we aim to embed research-led and decolonising content, delivery and support into English Literature education. We focus on two sectors: education (primarily 16-18 year-old learners and their teachers), and public audiences interested in cultural heritage and global literatures.The primary aim of the project is to (co-)create a world-class and freely available online educational resource about South African literature, hosted on a bespoke platform. This will have two distinct streams: a) expert-led audio, video and written content, including studio-recorded lectures delivered by academics and writers, video lessons, downloadable classroom resources, quizzes and other interactive activities; and b) co-produced content with international 16-18 year-old learners, including AI animations, podcasts, videos, online galleries, visual texts, blog posts, etc.To achieve this, we will:Establish focus groups with UK-based teachers, examination board members and educational partnerships meeting at four key points across the year to ensure project coherence, continued participation, collective action and reflexive monitoring of the creation, relevance and use of the online project resources.Deliver (minimum) 100 hours of collaborative content-producing engagement activities to 16-18 year-old learners and teachers across the UK, Sweden, Australia and South Africa, with direct delivery to over 700 participants.Develop a targeted social media strategy by posting expert-led and user-generated content to YouTube Shorts and TikTok, reaching audiences in the hundreds of thousands to drive traffic to the main website.Host four public events in the UK, Sweden, Australia and South Africa, including creative workshops, public lectures, and multi-media exhibitions of student content.Produce additional outputs including a co-edited essay collection by Munslow Ong and Van der Vlies entitled South African Modernisms (in progress); blog posts; public talks and media engagement.We anticipate that our programme of activities and bespoke platform of educational resources will:Advance and aid the diversification and decolonisation of English Literature teaching and content in the UK and further afield by introducing new topics, texts and pedagogies into classroom settings.Generate meaningful educational, cultural and social benefits for 16-18 year-old learners (e.g. through improved sense of belonging, motivation, skills, achievements in relevant assessment components, educational prospects and career goals).Increase public awareness and interest in South African cultural production via events, online resources, research outputs, public talks and media engagements.We will track the impacts of the project through feedback from the focus group and exam boards, participant evaluation forms, teacher testimonials, student 'postcards to my future self', online feedback forms, and statistical information and comments on the website and social media platforms.

该后续项目将通过利用并极大扩展“南非现代主义 1880-2020”项目的影响来带来重大的新效益。我们最初的项目确立了南非作家为全球现代主义。这项研究目前正在为英国 15 家继续教育 (FE) 机构改变英语文学 A-Level 的教学内容和方法，为 16-18 岁的学习者及其教师带来意想不到的教育、社会和文化效益。通过我们提出的活动计划，我们的目标是将研究主导和非殖民化的内容、交付和支持嵌入到英语文学教育中。我们专注于两个领域：教育（主要是 16-18 岁的学习者及其老师）以及对文化遗产和全球文学感兴趣的公众受众。该项目的主要目标是（共同）创建一个世界一流的、免费提供有关南非文学的在线教育资源，托管在定制平台上。这将有两个不同的流：a）专家主导的音频、视频和书面内容，包括学者和作家提供的工作室录制的讲座、视频课程、可下载的课堂资源、测验和其他互动活动； b) 与国际 16-18 岁学习者共同制作内容，包括人工智能动画、播客、视频、在线画廊、视觉文本、博客文章等。为了实现这一目标，我们将：与英国建立焦点小组教师、考试委员会成员和教育合作伙伴在全年的四个关键点举行会议，以确保项目的一致性、持续参与、集体行动以及对在线项目资源的创建、相关性和使用的反思性监控。交付（最低限度）为英国、瑞典、澳大利亚和南非的 16-18 岁学习者和教师提供 100 小时的协作内容制作参与活动，并直接向 700 多名参与者提供。用户生成的内容发布到 YouTube Shorts 和 TikTok，吸引了数十万观众，从而增加了主网站的流量。在英国、瑞典、澳大利亚和南非举办了四场公共活动，包括创意研讨会、公开讲座和多场活动媒体展览产生额外的成果，包括由 Munslow Ong 和 Van der Vlies 共同编辑的题为“南非现代主义”的论文集（正在进行中）；博客文章；公开演讲和媒体参与。我们预计我们的活动计划和定制的教育资源平台将：通过将新的主题、文本和教学法引入课堂，促进和帮助英国及更远地区的英语文学教学和内容的多样化和非殖民化为 16-18 岁的学习者带来有意义的教育、文化和社会效益（例如，通过改善归属感、动机、技能、相关评估部分的成就、教育前景和职业通过活动、在线资源、研究成果、公开演讲和媒体参与，提高公众对南非文化生产的认识和兴趣。我们将通过焦点小组和考试委员会的反馈、参与者评估表、教师感言、学生“给未来的自己的明信片”、在线反馈表以及网站和社交媒体平台上的统计信息和评论。
