Is the process the same for them as for adult native speakers learning to read in English? Is it the same for adult immigrants as it is for their children? What does the literature say? It's not easy to find research on reading development that specifically addresses our adult English language learner populations. One place to start is the latest online annotated bibliography from NCLE. Compiled by Miriam Burt of NCLE and Rebecca Adams of Georgetown University, the bibliography presents a comprehensive review of the research that has been conducted on reading development among adult English language learners in the United States in the last 20 years. Annotations detail the types of studies (experimental, descriptive, practitioner research, or theoretical article), target population characteristics, settings, findings, and implications for practice. The annotations can be easily accessed by topical keywords or by type of research study. Visit the bibliography on the NCLE Web site at http://www.cal.org/ncle/readingbib/ and find out what we do know about reading development in adult English languae learners that can help us create and impletment effective reading instruction.
