Pâquet, Lili – Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice, 2023
In 2019, I refreshed a tertiary writing unit in which, across two assignments, students planned and then produced their own creative non-fiction work.

Rogers-Shaw, Carol; Hill, Lilian H.; Carr-Chellman, Davin – American Association for Adult and Continuing Education, 2022

Severson-Irby, Elizabeth; Rolander, Kate – Adult Literacy Education, 2022
The relationship between research and practice in education, especially in adult education (AE), has generally been tenuous with most educational research focused on K-12 contexts and structured classroom environments that do not directly translate to adult learning contexts. However, the ever-increasing pace of change in the instructional…

Speirs, Neil M. – Adult Learner: The Irish Journal of Adult and Community Education, 2021
This paper draws on both a theoretical understanding and a semi-autoethnographic approach of the lived experience of working class adult learners in higher education during the COVID-19 global pandemic. In particular, the paper warns of the doxic notion of current working class struggles being singularly attributed to COVID-19. Rather it is vital…

Maria Vittoria Lo Presti – European Journal of Education (EJED), 2020
Language teaching has undergone numerous changes as a result of COVID-19, and has adapted to the new scenario and digital tools. While the programs for university and language school courses have been modulated to the new teaching conditions, language courses aimed at obtaining certifications require the final exam to remain the same. The present…

Building resilience is a key concern for adult educators today as we face unprecedented global challenges such as the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19).

Ana M. Hernandez; Annette Daoud – Journal of Latinos and Education, 2025
Research related to the engagement of parents in education continues to perpetuate critical misconceptions in the education of English Learners (ELs), as ideological mind-sets and mislabeling of Latinx families intentionally diminish their roles, importance, participation, and histories. The effects of COVID-19 pandemic on mitigating online…

Miriam Reynoldson – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2025
Personal narratives can be seen as iterative theories-of-valued-selves: thick, deliberate outlines traced over and selectively enhancing and obscuring the finer details of life as lived. Through telling such stories we represent and orient ourselves towards certain potential actions while turning away from others. Biographical narration is in this…

Abigail Helsinger; Donnette Narine; Phyllis A. Cummins; Takashi Yamashita – Grantee Submission, 2023
The need for non-formal education (NFE), which does not result in a formal degree or certificate, is substantial as labour markets often require adult workers to take an initiative in advancing their job-related skills. Yet, NFE opportunities are more often pursued by high-income and high-skilled adults than their low-income and low-skilled…
