When faced with a request for research or scientifically-based findings, I think we should be ready to say "You're right. We do need to know that and the research needs to be funded." You can't get reliable research on such things as how computer technology works for adult literacy or language learners unless you fund the research studies.

There is very little research which addresses Steve's question for adult basic skills (including adult English language) learners. __________________________________________________________________ HISTORY DETECTIVES.
