Adult ESL/Literacy From the Community to the Community: A Guidebook for Participatory Literacy Training

by Elsa Auerbach

Adult ESL/Literacy from the Community to the A Guidebook for Participatory Literacy Training tells the story of a university-community collaboration to develop, implement, and evaluate a project designed to train immigrants and refugees as adult ESL and native literacy instructors in their own communities. Beyond the story of this one project, the book is also a clear and powerful explication of the underlying principles and premises of the program model it community leadership development, a participatory approach to literacy instruction and instructor training, native language adult literacy instruction, and collaboration.
