This four year study will employ a randomized field trial to test the effectiveness of an explicit literacy curriculum in improving the reading, writing and oral English skills of low-literate adult English-as-a-second language (ESL) learners. An essential component of the study is the adaptation (or development) of an explicit literacy curriculum that will be appropriate for adult ESL learners. AIR will be releasing a request for proposals (RFP) for the development of this curriculum, which will then be implemented in a sample of adult ESL programs across the country and compared with the adult ESL instruction usually provided by the programs, using a randomized design. If you are interested in the RFP, please go to http://www.air.org/explicitliteracy . The RFP will be released around December 28, 2004. Please direct questions about the RFP to <explicitliteracy@air.org>.
