Older College Students as Tutors for Adult Learners in an Urban Literacy Program.
Ntiri, Daphne W.
Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, v43 n1 p48-57 Sep 1999
Describes a university literacy tutorial program in which older adult college students received tutor training and then carried out one-to-one reading tutorials with adult male learners who were rehabilitating addicts. Offers two case studies, and shows that the program had a significant impact on tutors' commitment to community volunteerism and the reading confidence and skill of the learners. (SR)
