adult literacy books for people that never learned how to write in their L1s
lbr...@hotmail.com

Preparing classes for these two types of students is hard. When you
teach, say, Bengali, Arabic or Chinese students to write "the strokes"
for English letters (which to them is an issue) in a class where other
students ask you "why do we have to learn that?" ;-) is not easy
~
Any good books, links, etc on the subject? ... and with "good" books
that would help you come up with lesson plans not books about
"options" and philosophy of teaching/learning

Thanks

The combination of adult literacy with ESOL is unworkable.

On which???
What you need is a solid scope and sequence, which any decent textbook
has. You can use it as a foundation for collecting or developing
other materials.
