Abstract	This collection of 14 articles focuses on the Reading and Writing and Oral Communication Streams of the Certificates of General Education (CGE) for Adults in the context of literacy teaching practices. Section 1 contains 11 case studies and articles with a practical focus. Practitioners discuss aspects of their curriculum development related to the CGE for Adults. Articles include the following: "Level 1 or What: Placing a Student" (Margaret Simonds); "Making It Explicit: Students Use the Four Literacies" (Louise Wignall); "If I Only Had Time...Curriculum Planning" (Barbara Lorey, Robiny Stricker, Hugh Kiernan); "Critical Literacy: Developing an Australian History Curriculum" (Pat Forward); "Literacy as Legal Action: Developing a Legal Studies Curriculum" (Julie McQueen); "A Text Up-Close: Using 'The World of Work' in the CGE for Adults" (Pam Baker); "Making the Connections: Explaining CGE for Adults to Students" (Sara Lyons); "Curriculum at Work: Four Literacies in a Workplace Class" (Kaye Elias); "Workplace Education: Which Literacies?" (Jude Newcombe); "A Window on Thought: Talking Texts into Meaning" (Liz Suda); and "From Heart to Head: Using Koori Culture as a Theme in Teaching Non-English Speaking Background Women" (Barbara Goulborn). Section 2 consists of three articles that bring together both curriculum development and theoretical reflections on language and literacy practice for adult learners: "Oracy through Literacy: Literacy through Oracy" (Philip McIntyre); "From Fill-Ins to Foundations: Changing Views of Literacy" (Delia Bradshaw); and "Different Angles: Thinking through the Four Literacies" (Rob McCormack).
