Conclusion

Finally i have done review this book. Here i will give you the conclusion of my book's review. Let's we begin. The adult education system in the United States is committed to provid-ing high-quality instruction for adults learning English. The emphasis on learner assessment and program accountability, professional development for practitioners, program and content standards, transitions to postsecondary and vocational education and the workplace, and uses of technology will help meet this goal. More research needs to be conducted and disseminated on how adults learn English, which instructional and assessment methods are most effective, how practitioners implement professional learning in the classroom, and how technology can best be used for learner instruction and teacher training. In addition, support for efforts in all of these areas is needed from federal, state, and local agencies and practitioners. Thank you for your attention guys. See yaa :)

Professional development is crucial for these teachers. Studies of professional development in adult education shed light on the ...

Hello guys you met me again! As usually, here i will give you some review from chapter 2 and chapter 3. Happy reading everyone! CHAPTER 2 : Learner Participation in Programs and Outcomes Many factors have an impact on learner participation in adult education programs. Learner factors include work schedules, family responsibilities, opportunities to learn and use English outside of an instructional setting, marital and family status, and personal motivation. Program factors include availability of classes, class schedules and locations, instructional setting, type of entry into the program (open or managed enrollment), length of courses and frequency of classes, and training and expertise of the teachers. when considering factors that affect gains in English language proficiency and other educational outcomes, it is important to keep in mind the amount of time that may be required for adults to reach the goals that are set.
