Research and Adult ESL

CAELA is pleased to announce the beginning of its new ESL resource database, which categorizes and annotates over 200 documents of interest to teachers, administrators, students, and researchers interested in adult ESL. When available, the database links directly to documents online.

CAELA staff members regularly update the page on statistics and data related to adult English language learners. This page is comprised of a set of annotated links that deal specifically with research in adult ESL and adult education.

Reading and Adult English Language Language Learners. The Center for Applied Linguistics reviewed the research on adult English language learners and developed two publications:

• Research on Reading Development of Adult English Language Learners: An Annotated Bibliography, which lists research on this topic from 1980-2001.

 

• Reading and Adult English Language Learners: A Review of the Research, which synthesizes the research in the bibliography and gives implications for practice.
