The NIFL adult education professional development list has recently has some
guest moderators and stimulating discussions.  So much of what we do in
family literacy is adult education and particularly adult ESL.  But there is
still a lot of "bad ESL" out there, including in family literacy
particularly in regard to teaching strategies and curriculum.   Can NCFL
list bring a knowledgeable, constructivist ESL expert to the list?  I'm
thinking about someone who fully understands family literacy like Elsa
Auerbach, Heide Spruck Wrigley, Gail Weinstein or Carol Van Duzer.
