Abstract	This handbook is designed to assist classroom teachers of English as a Second Language (ESL) in meeting the needs of their adult students. The handbook is intended for use in a variety of settings and with a variety of teaching styles. The first chapter discusses adult learners' characteristics and the factors affecting their learning. The second chapter looks at program components and considerations, including counseling and guidance, life skills, vocational ESL, academic curricula, comprehensive curricula, and textbook evaluation and selection. Chapter 3 describes several ESL teaching methods and discusses content area instruction, learning styles, and lesson planning. Chapter 4 describes the characteristics and background of effective ESL instructors, assessment of instructional strength, and means of professional growth. The fifth chapter examines aspects of adult programming to help instructors understand local programs and assist in designing orientation procedures, focusing on curriculum and materials, teachers' non-instructional responsibilities, placement and attendance, accounting, and personnel and finances. Appended materials include a sample ESL needs assessment, a sample textbook evaluation form, lesson plans for three proficiency levels, an outline of teaching methodologies, and a list of characteristics of effective lessons.
