The first chapter outlines common educational, sociocultural, and linguistic characteristics of this target group. The second chapter suggests ways of responding to and communicating with the students.In the third chapter, a genre approach to language and literacy teaching, which links language and its context, is explained, especially as it applies to adult basic education and specifically, achievement of Australia's Certificate of General Education for adults. Four domains of communication and related curriculum content and structure are outlined: self-expression; practical purposes; knowledge; and public debate. A systemic functional model of language to inform instruction is presented briefly in chapter 4. Chapters 5 and 6 describe an adult basic education teaching/learning cycle and related instructional activities. Two subsequent chapters discuss considerations in creating a supportive learning environment and suggestions for teaching situations in which limited-English-proficient and native English-speakers are taught together. Two bibliographies are included. (MSE) (Adjunct ERIC Clearinghouse on Literacy Education)

Rather than focusing on how to teach media literacy, Scheibe and Rogow focus on actually using media literacy to teach lessons across the content areas.
