Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2016 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: Pass, Charles Darwin University, language: English, abstract: This literature review undertook a purposeful sample of outcomes based research literature from the preceding decade that highlighted the language difficulties adult ESL users experienced while learning numeracy and mathematics. The most identifiable areas of research to emerge are policies and frameworks, pedagogy, educational programmes and educational resources. Whilst the request from the American Institute for Research to explore the linguistic challenges adult ESL users encounter in numeracy remains relatively unexplored; there is a growing collection of research papers emerging that contemplate linguistic difficulties in this area as a peripheral issue not a central one.
