1. 'Those Who Know': Views on Literacy among Adult Immigrants in Canada.

Author

Klassen, Cecil and Burnaby, Barbara

Abstract

Combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, this article examines the language and literacy needs of immigrants to Canada. A Toronto-based case study portrays a group of Latin American adults and their daily uses of English and Spanish. Literacy needs in both languages are noted, as is the contradiction of government commitment to immigration without sufficient services. (Contains 49 references.) (Author/LB)
