Dear NIFL-ESL Members,

As a member of the National Coalition for Literacy, TESOL is working on a
list of recommendations for appropriations measures that will be submitted
by the Coalition to Congress for the 2002 Federal budget. As part of its
recommendations for ESL/Civics literacy grants, information will be needed
to address the question of effectiveness of these programs. This is where we
need your help. 

TESOL is looking for anecdotal evidence regarding the effectiveness of adult
ESL programs. We are looking for information from all types of programs:
community colleges, CBOs, state-run programs, etc. If you work for a program
that was the recipient of an ESL/Civics grant, we would be especially
interested in hearing from you on how your program has benefited from it. We
are interested in both narratives and statistics. In other words, we would
be interested in both individual stories and pure numbers (e.g. increases in
students served, etc.). We do not need long articles; short paragraphs or
even bullet points would suffice.

Please send any and all information to me directly by Monday, February 12.
Please identify the program you are with (or are describing), and the type
of program. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Regards,

John Segota
