Special Topics Discussion Colleagues,

This has been an enjoyable discussion, and I want to thank our  
guests, Heide Spruck Wrigley and Larry Condelli, for joining us this  
week and helping us to better understand the What Works for Adult ESL  
Students study.  I will leave the discussion open for a few more days  
in case others want  to add comments, but Heide and Larry may not be  
able to continue to join in, or answer every reply. Our agreement was  
that their participation would only continue through today.  Of  
course, they are welcome to continue if they wish.

I have a comment on the study and the discussion.  The study has  
impressed me with what we know as a result of this research but, like  
a good appetizer, it has whetted my appetite for more adult ESL/ESOL  
research. There are so many questions that yet need to be answered.
