How can they do this? I'm happy to announce that there is a new brief that addresses this question that is available on CAELA's Website at http://www.cal.org/caela/esl_resources/briefs/research.html. The brief, written by Cristine Smith, Kathryn Harris, and Steve Reder of the National Center for the Study of Adult Learning and Literacy, is titled "Applying Research Findings to Instruction for Adult English Language Students." This article describes why research is important to the instruction of adult English language learners, defines scientifically based research and evidence-based instruction, explains what we know about how to help teachers use research, gives an example of teachers using research to improve their practice, and lists places where research-based resources can be accessed.
