Offering a digest and discussion of current debates, the book examines a wide geographical and social spread of issues, such as: * how to understand the universal characteristics of learning an additional language * what makes a 'good' language learner * multilingualism and assumptions about monolingualism * learning the written language * the effect of recent Government immigration policy on language learning processes. As a majority of adults learning ESOL are from communities of immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers, understanding the diversity of social and personal history of learners is a critical dimension of this book. It also recognises the social pressures and tensions on the learners away from the classroom and discusses various types of classroom and language teaching methodologies. Full of practical activities and case studies, this book is essential reading for any basic skills teacher undertaking a course of professional development, from GNVQ through to post-graduate level. 410 0$aNew approaches to adult language, literacy and numeracy. 606 $aEducation, Bilingual$xTeacher training 606 $aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching$xForeign speakers 606 $aEnglish teachers$xTraining of 615 0$aEducation, Bilingual$xTeacher training. 615 0$aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching$xForeign speakers. 615 0$aEnglish teachers$xTraining of. 676 $a428.00711 700 $aPitt$b Kathy.$01596159 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821332303321 996 $aDebates in ESOL teaching and learning$93917417 997 $aUNINA
