I was awarded a Fulbright fellowship for the Academic Year 1995-96. I traveled to Ghana, West Africa, where I taught two courses at the University College of Education in Winneba, Ghana. Winneba is about ten miles from the capital, Accra. At the University, I taught a graduate seminar and a course, along with a colleague, entitled The Elementary School Child. Actual teaching did not begin until February of '96 because the University teachers who are paid by the government (unlike universities here in the States) were on strike, demanding higher pay. While I waited for the strike to end, I explored the possibility of reviving the traveling library which had been discontinued some years before. After much research, I discovered that it would be impossible to revive this service because all the vehicles needed to carry the service were in disrepair, and sadly, there was no one available to repair and keep them in working order.When classes finally resumed, I began my research on elementary education in the town of Winneba. Working with a colleague who also taught at the University, we completed a study that was subsequently published in the College Language Association Journal in 1998.
