dc.description.abstractStudents who speak a language other than English represent a growing population in secondary schools, and their need to acquire academic English is essential in order to graduate. A student population that has largely been overlooked in the literature are Older Adolescent/Young Adult English Learners, ages 18 to 22, who attend high school and are generally older than their grade level peers. This study sought to fill a gap in the literature by investigating Older Adolescent/Young Adult English Learners' (OA/YA ELs) literacy engagement at an alternative high school.
