And for explaining the overall rationale of your training module. I'm very grateful for your gift. I've developed my own training module integrating Basic Literacy and ESOL techniques in an 18 hour Literacy Volunteers tutor training format. And while our order is different, the fundamental concepts are them same. The challenge of integrating adult learning, frameworks such as EFF, language acquisition, and intangibles like the varieties of adult learning and tutoring styles make it imperative that a framework such as EFF link it all together. I'm starting with goal setting, because it gives the variety of language techniques a focus. And having "universal," transferable skills as objectives, though maybe a no-brainer, is a revelation in how to present the difference. Thanks for helping me to learn. I work part-time, and I do projects such as this on my own time for my own professional development. I'm interested in doing more to "professionalize" my module, and in learning more about program development and curriculum design. Thanks for being one of my long-distance "teachers".
