Hello everyone: 
 
The next issue of the CAELA Currents, the quarterly newsletter of the
Center for Adult English Language Acquisition (CAELA), is now available
on line at   

http://www.cal.org/caela/esl_resources/ccaug06.html
<http://www.cal.org/caela/esl_resources/ccaug06.html> 

The complete list of articles is as follows:

New on the CAELA Web Site 

New Report from the Pew Hispanic Centers 

New Resources in the Field 

Focus on Web Links: REEPworld 

CAELA Resources 

CAELA Resource Database 

The CAELA Guide for Adult ESL Trainers 

Of special interest to those who participated in this list's recent
discussion of literacy-level learners might be the article highlighting
two new resources on the CAELA Web site: A resource collection on
Reading and Adult English Language Learners, and the Ask CAELA  topic
discussion that addresses the question: Who are literacy level learners?


Also of interest to those who work with literacy and beginning level
students might be the article on REEPworld, the  www.reepworld.org. This
Web site is being developed by teachers, learners, and administrators at
the Arlington Education and Employment Program (REEP) for adult English
language learners and teachers in Arlington County, Virginia.Because of
its clear and simple directions, level-appropriate activities, and
high-interest topics (so far, family and health), this site is useful to
a wide audience of beginning-level learners and their teachers. 
 
I hope the newsletter can provide information of interest and perhaps
resources for busy teachers to use in the adult ESL classroom.  

 Thanks.

Miriam
