Abstract | This qualitative research study explores key challenges and literacy needs of adults from war-affected backgrounds. Poverty, stress and anxiety, years of formal education, and lack of English language proficiency were cited by the adult learners as barriers to fulfilling their potential. This study also presents perspectives of teachers who have worked with adults from war-affected countries. The paper presents a literacy-learning framework that acknowledges the linguistic, emotional, social, and cultural needs of learners. (As Provided). |
