Towards a Framework for Teaching Adult Learners.

Van Duzer, Carol

American Language Review, v1 n5 p27-28 Dec 1997

A brief review of what is known about teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) to adults focuses on four areas: characteristics and needs of adult English language learners; program design and instructional practices; ESL teacher preparation and staff development; and learner assessment and outcomes. Teachers are urged to let colleagues, administrations, and researchers know what research is needed. (MSE)
