How? How can I improve adult English language learners' vocabulary? Can they learn new words in context? And what about group work? Won't students just reinforce one another's bad habits? What does the research say? Does anyone know? Guess what... The National Center for ESL Literacy Education (NCLE) has a new brief, Second Language Acquisition: From Research To Practice, by Donna Moss and Lauren Ross-Feldman. The brief addresses these issues. Read it and find out what the research says about motivating learners, the value of learner-to- learner interaction, when and how to focus on form in the language classroom, and ways to develop vocabulary. Most importantly, the brief discusses ways to apply these findings to adult ESL instructional practice. It's available for downloading on NCLE's Web Site at http://www.cal.org/ncle/digests/SLA.htm Or you can order a copy from NCLE at the address below.
