Online Tools:Spelling
One of the strongest trends in contemporary research and scholarship in English is the reframing of the subject as literacy. Underpinning this changed emphasis is a perspective which conceptualises literacy as being about far more than reading, writing and talking. Literacy is understood as social practice; a socially, culturally, and historically situated tool used for particular purposes in particular contexts.

Outside of having basic literacy skills, adult literacy students also need technology skills for accessing and using information, communicating, thinking critically and evaluating data.
