Dear List Members:

I am forwarding this post from Tom Sticht here because I believe the
assessment aspect of working with ABE students in listening and reading
plays an important role in informing practice and research.  Please read
on.
Thanks,
marie cora

Aaace-nla Colleagues: I am looking for research on listening and reading
with native language speakers (not ESOL)(see below). If you have
information please send it to me at tsticht@aznet.net. Thanks a lot! Tom

Outline for a presentation at the United Kingdom conference on:

Speaking and Listening Skills for Skills for Life Learners.

Friday 14 October 05 at The British Library, 96 Euston Road, London, NW1
2DB

Presentation Title: Listening, Reading, and Succeeding: A Forty Year
Perspective

Presenter: Tom Sticht, International Consultant in Adult Education

Though almost all surveys of important skills that adults need for
fulfilling their roles as family members, workers, and citizens include
the
oracy skills of speaking and listening, there is a paucity of research
on
such skills amongst first language adults, whether in basic skills
programs
or elsewhere.

The most extensive research on the listening and reading skills of
adults
with low literacy skills has been conducted by colleagues and myself in
the
forty years from the 1960s up to the turn of the 21st century.  This
presentation provides a succinct overview of a large share of this
research
and draws important implications for the education of listening and
reading
skills for adults, and education policy which recognizes that adult
basic
skills education can have important intergenerational transfer effects
for
language and literacy.

The presentation is in three parts:

Part 1: Relationships of Listening and Reading Processes. A Simple
Developmental Model of Literacy. The Oracy to Literacy Transfer
Hypotheses:
Listening and Reading. Correlations Should Increase as People Acquire
Reading Decoding Skills. The "Reading Potential" Concept: Listening
Comprehension Forms  A Potential For Reading Comprehension.

Part 2: Learning by Listening and by Reading. Laboratory Studies on
Transfer
from Listening to Reading. Classroom Study on Improving Listening and
Reading Using Speech Rate Controlled Recordings. Training and Assessing
Fluency of Decoding During Listening While Reading at Different Speech
Rates

Part 3: Listening, Reading, and Succeeding. Relationships of Listening
and
Reading to Job Knowledge and Job Task Performance. Relationships of
Knowledge and Listening to Occupation and Income. Relationships of
Knowledge and Listening to Civic Activities.  Relationships of Knowledge
and Listening to Reading Practices. Relationship of Parent's Education
to
the Knowledge and Listening of Their Children. An Intergenerational,
"Life
Cycles" Education Policy for Language, Listening, & Reading.
