Hello, everyone 

I apologize for being so slow in responding. I picked up a vicious flu
bug on the road which laid me low for a couple of days but am now as
good as new (well, almost). Larry is up to his eyeballs in a discussion
around the National Reporting System on the assessment list serve. 

Here's my plan: 

I'll review the questions we have not dealt with from last week and this
week and will post of few comments to pull things together and give the
rest of you a chance to respond tomorrow. 

So thanks to all who jumped in there to post questions and ideas and
also to those of you who have taken the time to read the posts (a number
of people have written to me off-line). 

All the best and I'll write more soon 

Heide

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.
