Abstract	This newsletter issue focuses entirely on classroom instruction in adult basic education (ABE) and English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) programs. The first article, "Whole Language and Adult Literacy Education" (Kazemek), describes 10 principles of holistic language education and how they may be translated into actual classroom practice. The practices include sustained silent reading; sustained silent writing; prepared oral reading as a social activity; language experience texts; reading, rereading, and retelling published texts; strategy instruction; and informal assessment. The second article, "Building a Community of Learners (Schneider), describes how such a community is created at the ABE learning centers at the New York Public Library. "Teachers Talk about Writing" (Slivka) contains a discussion by four ABE teachers from Region 3 of the New York City Board of Education on how they facilitate writing in their classes. "Parallels in Literacy and Second Language Acquisition" (Hill, Rabideau) argues that ABE and ESL teachers can learn from one another and provides examples. "Teaching Writing through the Arts" (Denis) explains how a drama and playwriting teacher from New York City Public Schools uses theatre games and writing exercises that build writing confidence and interest, including talk sessions, oral storytelling, monologues, two-character plays, free associative plays, team writing, and a sound effects writing exercise.
