My topic has emerged from my work with a group of Somali Bantu refugees. I have been teaching them literacy for a few months now. I am looking to create a curriculum based on best practices and my own experiences. Is anyone aware of studies done after 1996 (2000s are even better!) that consider the teaching of second language literacy to pre-literate adults? Helaine Marshall, Director of TESOL Programs at the Westchester Graduate Campus of Long Island University replied that her research on the Hmong adult learner might be of help. Her article, published in Cultural Circles, Volume 3, 1998, A Mutually Adaptive Learning Paradigm (MALP) for Hmong Students, is now available in its entirety at the Adult Literacy Education Wiki. Many thanks to Helaine for making this possible. http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/AleESOLWholeDiscussion http://wiki.literacytent.org/images/malp_paper_marshall.pdf David J.
