Adult
Education and Literacy
Dave's
ESL Café
Although catering primarily to the K-12
ESL field, the greatest virtue of this site derives from
the ease with which teachers and learners have chances to
communicate online. Granted, many of the correspondents
appear to be, ah, amorous teenagers, but two features have
ready applicability for the adult ESL program: the ESL Idiom
Page and the ESL Cafe Bookstore.
Educational Resources Information Center
Funded by the Office of Educational Research
and Improvement (OERI, part of US DOE), the ERIC system
consists of 26 clearinghouses devoted to abstracting and
indexing the world of education-related knowledge. From
the main ERIC site, you may search the ERIC database (nearly
a million entries and growing), print off ERIC Digests and
connect to the two clearinghouses nearest and dearest to
the adult literacy field: the Clearinghouse on Adult, Career
and Vocational Education (ACVE) and the National Clearinghouse
on ESL Literacy Education (NCLE).
Employment and Training Administration
If "workforce development" is
your mantra, this US Department of Labor site is definitely
a place to stop, as it offers various and sundry factsheets,
profiles, contacts and all the SCANS reports you'll ever
need.
ESL Home Page
Welcome to the English as a Second Language
website, which is a starting point for ESL learners who
want to learn English through the World Wide Web. Many people
have created ESL learning materials for the Web. This website
links you to those good and free ESL places. The variety
of materials will allow you to choose something appropriate
for yourself.
US
Department of Education

centers, statistics, school information and the National
