Hello, all 

I still have a number of answers and comments that I would to post. What
had looked like a more or less "open time" when we first agreed to this
discussion turned into a week chock full of commitment and travel. I'll
now be a few days in the office and can field additional answers plus
pick up those we haven't responded to. I'm wrapping up my time in Austin
and flying back to NM this afternoon. More from there 

So stick with us for a few days if you have the time and are interested.


Be well, all thanks for putting you questions out there so far (and
thanks also to all the wonderful lurkers out there who are reading the
list and have commented privately

Subject: [SpecialTopics 290] What Works Adult ESL/ESOL Study

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.
