The power point is super--you can tell that a lot of work and time went into this presentation. I am fascinated because in my master's work I did research on the history of the American education system. It showed a big push for immigrants to assimilate and learn English only. This was very interesting from the point of view of the adult learner.<br>Thank you for sharing you hard work.<br>Joyce<br></div><div style="font-family: verdana,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Sarah Young <syoung@cal.org><br>To: The Adult English Language Learners Discussion List <englishlanguage@nifl.gov>;

<div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="Arial">Greetings,</font></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="Arial">I'd like to share with you all a presentation that I developed based on a personal research interest of mine -- the history of adult immigrant education. This began with wanting to know more about a hometown celebrity -- Jane Addams and her Hull House settlement -- and gradually grew into more research on how immigrants have learned and been taught English since the late 1800s. I presented this at two conferences this past spring, and now the PowerPoint and bibliography are available at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://mail.cal.org/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.cal.org/caela/esl_resources/">http://www.cal.org/caela/esl_resources/</a> under "A Brief History of Adult ESL Instruction." There is not a paper to accompany this yet, but there's some good information, historical perspective, and interesting photos/images included in the PowerPoint. Please let me know off-list if you
have any questions or comments, as this is a topic I would like to continue pursuing in the future. </font></div>
