[ProfessionalDevelopment 2399] New ESL Release by CAALGail Spangenberg gspangenberg at caalusa.orgTue Jul 22 08:43:57 EDT 2008
July 22, 2008, NYC -- The Council for Advancement of Adult Literacy announces the release of a new resource called Findings in ESL: A Quick Reference to Findings of CAAL Research on ESL Programs at Community Colleges. As the name indicates, the publication, written by CAAL vice president Forrest P. Chisman, is the final in a series from CAAL on its ESL research since 2004. Due to the high ongoing interest in ESL service provision, the purpose of Findings in ESL is to make CAAL's ESL work more readily accessible to general and ESL audiences who may not have the time to wend their way through its fairly dense full-length reports. This summary document is available in PDF format from the CAAL website (www.caalusa.org, Publications page, item ESL6). It may be purchased as a bound document directly from CAAL ($10 prepaid plus postage, bheitner at caalusa.org for instructions). The four main research reports summarized in this Reference document are also available at the CAAL website, each for $20 prepaid plus postage. They are: Adult ESL and the Community College (2004, 59 pp.); Passing the Torch: Strategies for Innovation in Community College ESL (2007, 153 pp.); Torchlights in ESL: Five Community College Profiles (2007, 123 pp.); Pathways and Outcomes: Tracking ESL Student Performance (2008, 212 pp.)--items ESL1 through ESL5. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
