Chapter 1 sets out the methodology and approach, which included a literature review, data collection, case studies, and consultations. Chapter 2 lists the ALAC national level projects for 1988 and 1989 and discusses their significance. In chapter 3, a very brief statement of the existing adult literacy provision in each state is followed by an outline of each state's application of ALAC funds. Chapter 4 analyzes and assesses the use of ALAC funds in each state against 12 key issues. It attempts to extract trends, changes, and innovations in the provision of program delivery, staff development, research, and resources.

Chapter 6 is a case study of the Women and Work Literacy Resource Kit produced with ALAC funds. Adult Literacy Through Videos, a major project undertaken in New South Wales (Australia), is the subject of chapter 7. Chapters 8 and 9 highlight conclusions and recommendations.
