I've looked and continue to look under ESL/literacy/education/adults/immigrants/refugees/technology and individual countries. I maintain however that there is a big difference between ESL and literacy. Also in NYC--the push is on family literacy, and we are not, nor will we, run a family ESL program. I am just interested in what other people find in funding and why people think ESL is lumped with literacy. Lumped with education I can see. But I can only understand the link to literacy by Congress Definition of literacy... Happy New Year.
