Exploring methods for teaching adult English learners

The National Institute for Literacy is holding a Discussion on Reading and Adult English Language Learners from May 12-16. The institute has assembled practitioners who will explore strategies for assisting adult English language learners (or second language learners in general) with increasing their reading proficiency. Join guests Heide Spruck Wrigley, a senior researcher with the New Mexico-based Literacywork International, and a cadre of Texas practitioners who will share information, challenges, and outcomes of a professional development and classroom project called ESL Reading Institute.
