Provides a basis for understanding how researchers, policy makers, and educators can provide these adults and their children with a relevant education that effectively embraces their schooling and lived experience. Includes a variety of oral and written sample texts, including tape recordings of everyday oral language use, personal letters, and autobigraphical writing.
