Multilingual Matters

This book explores the reasons why adult ESL learners drop out of their language classes and suggests explicit strategies for keeping students engaged. The most effective strategies may be personal rather than technical or curricular. Based on a study of a group of Mexican immigrants to the US, the author proposes that superaci\u00F3n or \u2018self-actualization\u2019 is crucial to understanding the relative success of adult ESL learners. Learners\u2019 decisions to drop out were not hasty or superficial but were based on a commonsense assessment concerning how the class might improve the quality of their lives. Those involved in delivering ESL to adult learners should stress the tangible, practical advantages that accrue with learning English, and at the same time strive to make instruction relevant.\n\nUnderstanding Success and Failure in Adult ESL\nSuperacion vs Dropout of Adult English Learners in the US\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with fre;
