the Study of Adult Learning and Literacy (NCSALL), has been released and
can be found on the Web site at

can be downloaded in both html and in pdf formats. 
 
This brief defines different types of standards and describes the
instructional benefits of using adult ESL content standards. It also
describes uses of content standards in the adult ESL field and discusses
research about the implementation of content standards.
