  2. Using the Multimedia Adult English Learner Corpus (MAELC)
    To help ESOL practitioners, policy-makers, and researchers by providing the rich,audio-video corpus evidence collected by the Lab School on low-level adult ESOL.

  3. Connecting Practitioners, Policy-makers, and Researchers (CPPR)
    To connect ESOL practitioners, policy-makers, and researchers by providing models of interaction and feedback loops, so that each group can enhance the work of the others,as all work toward continuous improvement in the field of adult ESOL.

  4. Disseminating research results
