Another book with a sociological twist is Literacy as Praxis by Catherine Walsh, Ed. The first two will give you a broader understanding of working with multilevel classrooms and individuals with low literacy skills. The third one will provide a sociological context. You can get Making Meaning Making Change for free from the center for applied linguistics (CAL) They are on the web. Also, if you want to call me, I can suggest some strategies over the phone, and fax you some stuff that may help you. My number is (915) 831-4161. Andres >>> bhuff@iep.uta.edu 09/06/00 06:17PM >>> Hello to everyone. I joined the list two days ago, so pardon my request if it is redundant. I have been teaching English for academic purposes for the past two years but recently began teaching adult immigrants - non-literate to low-intermediate. I plunged right into it without doing much broad reading in the field of literacy, so I would like to know what teacher training books you have found most helpful. I'm looking for books that deal with the broad issues of language acquisition as well as practical class management issues such as multi-level adult classes with non-literate students. Thanks for any help you can offer.
