This book explores the reasons why adult ESL learners drop out of
their language classes and suggests explicit strategies for keeping
students engaged. The most effective strategies may be personal
rather than technical or curricular. Based on a study of a group of
Mexican immigrants to the US, the author proposes that superacion
or 'self-actualization' is crucial to understanding the relative
success of adult ESL learners. Learners' decisions to drop out were
not hasty or superficial but were based on a commonsense assessment
concerning how the class might improve the quality of their lives.
Those involved in delivering ESL to adult learners should stress
the tangible, practical advantages that accrue with learning
English, and at the same time strive to make instruction relevant.
