Ron Pugsley of the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) spoke on the adult learner population, Rebecca Moak of OVAE on EL/Civics, Jin Sook Lee of the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance on rights of immigrant adults in the U.S. workforce, Larry Condelli of Pelavin/AIR on instructional strategies for English language learners with limited literacy skills, Cathy Shank of West Virginia ABE on English language learners with learning disabilities, and Marilyn Gillespie of SRI International on professional development and working conditions of adult education teachers. Although the event was held 10 months ago, the topics discussed are still topics of great concern to practitioners and researchers working with adults learning English. Online, at http://www.cal.org/ncle/millennium.htm, read the document based on the proceedings of that panel event. Written by NCLE Director Joy Peyton, the document uses the resources of the Internet to present not only what was said at the event, but also to connect to power point presentations given by the panelists and to maps and other documents related to the presentations. In short, although the panel was held last February, this Web document brings it up to the present in terms of information presented. Please contact us at NCLE if you have any questions or would like more information on any of the topics discussed in this document.
