The Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy (JAAL) is a rare publication focused on the literacy education of older learners. It offers effective classroom-tested ideas rooted in research and theory that are proven to enhance the educational experience of adolescents and adults. Open access podcasts continue the conversations by offering interviews with authors of JAAL’s feature articles.

JAAL coeditors Emily Neil Skinner and Margaret Carmody Hagood ask authors about their inspirations, their educational foundations and expertise, and the impact of their research findings. Podcasts highlight key findings from each article along with ideas for instruction, reviews of resources, tips on creating a multimedia classroom experience, and commentary on current literacy news. Consider them an audio alternative when reading the journal isn’t possible, such as during a commute or workout.

As a supplement to its articles, the JAAL podcasts are intended to motivate educators to challenge themselves and their students through the applications of new and invigorating education techniques to enrich the classroom experience. JAAL articles are available to nonsubscribers for rent or purchase through Wiley Online Library. ILA Members can subscribe to JAAL for access to all issues back to 2004.
