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
