Adult ESOL in England Policy Practice and research

Simpson, J. (2007) “Adult ESOL in England: Policy, Practice and Research” in: N. Faux (Ed.) Low-educated Second Language and Literacy Acquisition: Research, policy and practice. Richmond, VA: Commonwealth University of Virginia.

Superdiversity (Vertovec 2006)[2007] ‘Migrant transnationalism and modes of transformation,’ in Rethinking Migration: New Theoretical and Empirical Perspectives, A. Portes and J. DeWind (eds), Oxford: Berg [in press]

Historically ESOL neglected - ad hoc teaching.
Then Moser (A Fresh Start).
Development of AECC a good thing - students do progress in ESOL classes ( get stats on this from ESOL effective practice project).

But bureaucratisation leads to conflicts : obligation to produce 'measurable outcomes' at odds with non-linear progress of most students.
ILP ineffective.
Drive to increase private sector involvement.
