Fleming, Douglas
TESL Canada Journal, v16 n1 p19-35 Win 1998
A study examined views of five adult English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) instructors of immigrants to Canada concerning their autonomy over curricular decisions, including classroom activities, curriculum guidelines, linguistic elements, teaching materials, needs assessment, assessment of learner proficiency, professional development, staff relations, and settlement theme content. Results strengthen the case for developing program supports for instructor autonomy. (Author/MSE)
