There’s an excellent article written by Sue Ollerhead in the latest edition of the Literacy and Numeracy Studies journal, which will be very interesting for any teachers working with ESL students with low level literacy skills.  It looks at the results of traditional teacher-led classes compared to less structured classes, which develop more according to what’s going on in the classroom.

You have to register for the Literacy and Numeracy Studies journal, which takes a couple of minutes, but it’s well worth it.
