The Annual Review of Adult Learning and Literacy, Volume 2reviewed by Garrett Murphy - 2002 Title: The Annual Review of Adult Learning and Literacy, Volume 2 Author(s): John Comings, Barbara Garner & Cristine Smith (Editors) Publisher: Jossey-Bass Publishers, San Francisco ISBN: 0787950629, Pages: 320, Year: 2001 Search for book at Amazon.com Israel Mendoza, the director of adult education for the State of
Washington, introduces The Annual Review of Adult Learning and
Literacy, Volume 2, by quoting Allan Quigley's admonition that
we “Become literate about literacy." (p. xi) Indeed, this is
what this series of reports is all about. Its target audience
is policymakers, scholars and practitioners of adult basic and
secondary education, and English to speakers of other
languages.
Volume 2 actually sets some precedents by continuing a
pattern begun in Volume 1 to, as the editors state in
their introduction, "produce a journal of record for the field of
adult learning and literacy..." (p. xv) This pattern begins,
according to editors John Comings, Barbara Garner and Cristine
Smith, with a chapter that reviews "significant developments in the
field during the year (in this case 1999), includes a chapter
describing the adult literacy system of another country (here
Canada), and provides an annotated bibliography on a broad topic of
current interest to the field (here, organizational
development).” (p. xv)... (preview truncated at 150 words.)To view the full-text for this article you must be signed-in with the appropriate membership. Please review your options below:
