ESL Instruction for Learning Disabled Adults. ERIC Digest.
THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC This digest looks at what "is" known about learning disabilities and adult ESL learners, and addresses the following questions: How do learning disabilities affect the progress of adults learning English? How can learning disabled adults be identified and assessed? What kinds of instructional methods work best with this population? What kind of preparation is needed for teachers who work with them?
LEARNING DISABILITIES AND SECOND LANGUAGE LEARNING
IDENTIFYING ESL ADULTS WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES
The process of identifying anyoneadult, child, native English speaker, or ESL learneras learning disabled can be stigmatizing (McCormick, 1991). Therefore, educators stress weighing the advantages of identifying adults as learning disabled (making them eligible for special instruction, resources, and services) against the possible stigma of the label (Lowry, 1990).

The Adult ESL Teaching Profession Today
by MaryAnn Cunningham Florez, National Center for ESL Literacy Education
According to the 1995 National Household Survey, 4 million adults in the United States are studying English as a second language (ESL) or would like to be (National Center for Education Statistics, 1997). Approximately two thirds of adult education programs currently provide instructional services for non-English speakers (Fitzgerald, 1995).
This digest examines the emerging profession of teaching ESL to adults who live and work in the United States. It offers suggestions both for beginning a career in this field and for continuing to grow as a professional.

Learning Disabilities and Second Language Learning
Identifying ESL Adults with Learning Disabilities

Before identifying an adult as learning disabled, other reasons for lack of expected progress should be considered.
Assessing the Learner
Using standardized tests to identify learning disabilities presents problems: First, instruments designed to diagnose learning disabilities are usually normed on native English speakers. Therefore, the results cannot be reliably used with learners whose first language is not English. Portions of some tests can give a clear idea of a learner's strengths and weaknesses, but simple scores based on a whole test are not always reliable. Because the concepts and language being tested may have no direct translation, the validity of tests translated into the native language is questionable. Second, the tests are primarily designed for and normed on younger students and may not be suitable for adults (Lowry, 1990). Finally, since no single assessment technique is sufficient to diagnose a learning disability, multiple assessment measures (including the following) are necessary.

WHAT AN ADULT ESL TEACHER DOES
The fundamental duty of a teacher of adult ESL is to facilitate the development of communication skills in English, either in a classroom setting or in a one-on-one tutoring structure. In many program settings, teachers must also include substantive content beyond language instruction, such as employment skills, survival skills, cultural information, or American history and citizenship facts. Teachers must also take into consideration the implications of the learners' cultural differences and cultural adjustment processes. Other duties may include any combination of materials development or selection, lesson planning, curriculum development, assessment and evaluation, and even counseling or referrals.

Joint Certificate in Teaching EFL/ESL to Adults and Young Learners
This course is intended for those entering the English Language Teaching Profession who wish to prepare themselves for the teaching of both adults and young learners - an increasingly common requirement in language training schools and organisations worldwide. It highlights the differences and any similarities in teaching these two distinct sectors and aims to provide a sound base for the teaching of both. The course is the equivalent of 160 hours of face to face tuition. The duration varies, depending on how much time (per week, e.g.) the trainee can dedicate to it. Assessment is competence based, underpinned by knowledge, evidenced in a portfolio of assessed achievements which are measured against set criteria.
The course programme is delivered in 4 inter-dependent modules:

To plan course, sequences of lessons and individual lessons which meet the language learning needs of adults and of young learners.
