YOU ARE INVITED!

Please come and celebrate the publication of Addressing the Needs and
Concerns of English Language Learners in the U.S. Adult Education
System, a vision and action agenda commissioned by the National Literacy
Summit. This paper was written to accompany the national literacy
summit's action agenda, From the Margins to the Mainstream, and to
suggest specific directions for the field of adult ESL education. Many
of you participated in writing and commenting on this paper, and we are
grateful. 

We will thank you for your important contributions, review the document
together, and develop plans for action at the national, state, and local
levels at a session at the upcoming TESOL convention in St. Louis -
Thursday, March 1, 8:30-9:15 AM, Room 251 of the Convention Center.
Please join us there. We look forward to seeing you and working together
to implement this vision. 

Read a draft of the ESL paper at http://www.cal.org/ncle/summitdoc.htm
<http://www.cal.org/ncle/summitdoc.htm>. 

Read From the Margins to the Mainstream at
http://www.nifl.gov/Coalition/margins_to_mainstream.pdf

If possible, we will also get together informally Thursday night to
continue our discussion and plans. You are welcome to join us then as
well. That informal meeting will be scheduled at the Thursday morning
session. 

Sincerely,

Elsa Auerbach, Janet Isserlis, Joy Kreeft Peyton, Gail Weinstein, Heide
