This information will be gathered from adult learners across the country using assessments and many adult education programs will be asked to participate. The AEL Study will also collect national-level information on adult education program characteristics. In addition to this work and in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Labor, an international comparative study of the literacy and numeracy proficiency of the general population of adults will also be undertaken in 2002-2003. This is in addition to the National Assessment of Adult Literacy, which will also take place in 2003. Finally, data collection is now completed on an in-depth study of the skills of lower literacy learners (Level 1 Study). This study aims to better describe the specific reading component skills (such as vocabulary, decoding skills) which may impact a learner's literacy progress. Results are expected in 2003. for more information, go to www.nces.ed.gov/surveys/all or contact Mariann Lemke (mariann.lemke@ed.gov; 202-502-7314) or Michael Jones (michael.jones@ed.gov; 202-205-9260).
