Good day colleagues,

I would like to welcome Dr. Heide Spruck Wrigley and Dr. Larry Condelli, 
authors of the "What Works for Adult ESL Students" study. They will be 
our guests this week as we learn about and discuss this important study. 
We have received a few questions already, and I will post them today.  I 
hope that you will send your questions and comments today, and 
throughout the week, and that we will have a good discussion about the 
study.

I would like to begin by asking Heide and Larry to describe the major 
findings of the study and to put the study in context of research on 
adult ESL/ESOL and especially literacy.  Why is this an important study 
for adult ESL/ESOL and perhaps for the wider fields of ESL/ESOL and 
literacy education?

Everyone: to contribute a question or comment, or to add to the 
discussion, please e-mail your message to specialtopics at nifl.gov.

Thanks.
