Offering a new perspective on adult English language education,
this book provides theoretical and practical insights into how
digital literacies can be included in the learning programmes for
newly arrived adults from migrant and refugee backgrounds.
Enhancing Digital Literacies with Adult English Language Learners
takes readers inside Langfield, an adult community-based English
language centre that supports the settlement and learning of this
vulnerable group. Drawing on a six-month ethnographic study of
Langfield's work, the book explores the approach to teaching
digital literacies and presents a range of perspectives, including
those of the adult learners, the teachers, and the organisation's
CEO. The chapters present a holistic view of teaching digital
literacies in the adult English language context by exploring:
adult learners' digital literacy practices in everyday life and
their learning at Langfield; teachers' beliefs and practices about
digital literacies; and the support offered to them through
institutional resources, leadership, and professional learning. The
book identifies exemplary practices, as well as areas for further
development in Langfield's work and offers a range of implications
for practice, policy, and research. Written in a detailed but
accessible manner, this book contributes important insights into
the strengths and needs of this unique and complex education
sector. Addressing an area of uncertainty for many researchers,
practitioners, leaders, and policy makers working within
community-based learning contexts in Australia and internationally,
this book will be an essential resource.
