I am currently enrolled in a class about Literacy as of my library science program. I have a few questions regrading ESL learners and literacy programs. I am hoping that someone can relate some information, experiences and/or observations so I can better understand this topic.
 
In a literacy program, how many learners have a primary language other than english? Of these learners how many can read and write in their own language? Do learners use literacy programs as a way to learn english? Does demographics affect this?
 
Thank you very much for your help,
