Dr. Frank C. Laubach was a world literacy pioneer who started the \"Each One Teach One\" method of language learning in the Philippines. After fourteen years as a conventional missionary Laubach arrived in 1929 to work among the Muslim Filipino [Moro] population of the Lake Lanao area of Mindanao. Convniced that the usual evangelistic and educational programs would be counterproductive as a means of touching Moro lives wit the word of God, Laubach determined that literacy teaching was potentially a more fruitful idea. This book recounts his first experiences in the Philippines and the people he worked with. Also contains a historical discussion of the Philippines and the lives and habits of the Moro he encountered.","brand":"Martino Fine Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055256223984,"sku":"9781614276609","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781614276609_p0.jpg?v=1763846886","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781614276609","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
