Summary: Researches the learning pathways and needs of Anglophone-stream low-level Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) learners whose mother tongue or primary language is other than English. The project sought to contribute valuable front-line information and insights that aim to fortify a vital adult education priority identified by all three Ontario 'learning ministries' (Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities (TCU); Ministry of Education (EDU) and Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration (MCI)), namely, strengthening the coordination of services across the education and training programs serving adult learners in the province.
