This MA project examines the creation, implementation, and effectiveness of the guidebook, Moving Forward: A Learner-Centered and Participatory Approach to Teaching Community Adult ESL, designed to help adult English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers base their classes on the specific needs of community adult education students. This guidebook was created in response to the need for lesson plans and activities that help teachers focus on learner needs. The activities in the guidebook are based on the National Institute for Literacy's (NIFL) adult literacy initiative, Equipped for the Future (EFF) because it focuses on the tasks adults must perform to function successfully on a daily basis. Participatory Curriculum Development (PCD) was used to create the specific activities in the guidebook because its focus is on creating curriculum based on the needs of learners.

Adult ESL/Literacy from the Community to the Community: A Guidebook for Participatory Literacy Training tells the story of a university-community collaboration to develop, implement, and evaluate a project designed to train immigrants and refugees as adult ESL and native literacy instructors in their own communities. Beyond the story of this one project, the book is also a clear and powerful explication of the underlying principles and premises of the program model it describes: community leadership development, a participatory approach to literacy instruction and instructor training, native language adult literacy instruction, and collaboration.

This book centralizes the narratives of adult English language learners, teachers, and trainee teachers in the development of a humanistic language pedagogy; their strengths, concerns, and stories inform this practical guide to adult literacy development and English language-culture learning and teaching. The author sets the need to educate the whole person, and to focus on the adult learner’s strengths and assets, against a background of rigorous research and practical experience. This book combines evidence-based pedagogy with a passionate belief in the centrality of the learner and the importance of education and will be invaluable to all those involved in teaching and training related to adult English language learners.

The essays in this book focus on political strategies, pedagogical models, and community programs that enable adult ESL learners to become vital members of North American society. This is particularly important in our present time of contraction and downsizing in the education of non-native speakers. The authors represent a broad range of programs and perspectives, but they all have in common the goal of enabling both faculty and students to become full participants in our society and thereby to gain control over their futures. Readers of this book will develop an understanding of the ways in which innovative educators are creating strategies for maintaining language programs and services.

This curriculum sourcebook is designed as a guide for educators of limited-English-speaking adults in literacy education programs. It consists of accounts of actual learning and teaching experiences using a participatory approach to instruction and curriculum development, written by teachers in community-based adult education. An introductory section gives a background to the guide. The first chapter discusses the importance of articulation of feelings as a survival skill. Chapter 2 focuses on the immigrant experience. Topics include the language experience approach, working with beginning level students, sex bias and stereotypes, oral history, literacy as a skill for solving daily problems, and use of autobiographies as a teaching technique. Chapter 3 discusses the mother-child relationship as both a curriculum topic and a means of involving parents in children's learning. Brief essays address these topics: writing about mothers; parent concerns about school; parent involvement in homework; and the family class--teaching parents and children together. The fourth chapter contains articles on teaching techniques and approaches, including process writing, use of correction in class, using pictures as a stimulus for writing, native language use in class, two-way bilingualism, native language literacy, developing curriculum around class participation, and student and program evaluation. A glossary and list of resources are appended. (Adjunct ERIC Clearinghouse on Literacy Education) (MSE)

ELT METHODS AND APPROACHES: EXPERIMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS narrates the experiments and observations of different methodological approaches in English Language Teaching. The beginning of each chapter provides a conceptual framework of each method and approach supported by well-known critics and scholars in the field. Such a theoretical background to most of the methods and approaches in English Language Teaching may attract students, research scholars and classroom teachers. The book shares personal experiences in writing this book, an amalgam of theory and practice in English Language Teaching. They emphasize the application of those methods and approaches in a particular EFL/ESL situation. That is what seemed to motivate me to write this book, a different source in that it not only provides the conceptual framework of different methods, approaches and techniques but also executes and experiments with them in EFL/ESL situations. The work is unique as it not only experiments with different methods and approaches but also observes what practical challenges learners and teachers face during their implementation as well as how these difficulties can be addressed and overcome. This text has provided adequate scope for learners, the target group to integrate them into the research. They have actively participated in the creation and formation of this book. The book has positively included learners’ feedback on the execution, approach and technique. Their feedback is important in assessing whether a method or approach is successful in a specific EFL/ESL environment. Learners’ feedback has assisted the authors as they present, discuss and assess the advantages and disadvantages of each method. We have shared personal experiences with different EFL/ESL learners in three countries, the United States of America, Saudi Arabia and India.
