Book excerpt: This resource brings together information about policy, second language acquisition theory and research, methods and materials for teaching adult English language learners, program design, and cross-cultural issues that effect learning in adult ESL classrooms. It also discusses the context within which adult ESOL instructors work and in which adult ESOL programs function.

This book is designed for faculty and students in adult education graduate programs and other TESOL preparation programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels that target adult learners. Other audiences are adult ESL program directors and policy makers as well as educators working in elementary and high school, many of whom are connected to populations of adult learners through the parents of the children they serve.

Book Synopsis Education for Adult English Language Learners in the United States by : Kirsten Schaetzel
Download or read book Education for Adult English Language Learners in the United States written by Kirsten Schaetzel. This book was released on 2010. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adult English language learners comprise a substantial proportion of the adult education population in the United States. In program year 2006-2007, 46% of participants enrolled in state-administered adult education programs were in English as a second language (ESL) classes. This percentage does not include English language learners enrolled in other types of programs, such as adult basic education (ABE) and adult secondary education (ASE). To meet the increasing demand for English language instruction, existing adult education programs are expanding and new ones are being established. In addition to federally funded programs, services are offered by volunteer and faith-based organizations, museums, libraries and other community centers, private language schools, and academic institutions. This paper describes education for adult English language learners in the United States, focusing on the following topics: (1) Characteristics of the foreign-born population; (2) Foreign-born adults enrolled in adult ESL programs, their access to and participation in programs, and factors that affect their participation and success; (3) The types of instructional programs that serve adult English language learners; (4) Professional development for teachers of this population; (5) The U.S. adult education assessment and accountability system; and (6) Future directions in English literacy education and lifelong learning. As a comprehensive discussion of the trends, research, and promising practices in the field of adult education, this paper is an important resource for any practitioner interested in improving education for adult English language learners. NRS Functioning Level Table is appended. (Miriam Burt and Joy Kreeft Peyton helped to define and shape the paper, and Sharon McKay and Lynda Terrill provided valuable content expertise. Lynda Terrill designed the document for publication on the Web. Contains 4 tables.).
