مستخلص: A survey of volunteer programs in English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) literacy instruction in Illinois is reported. The report begins with a review of literature concerning ESL literacy volunteerism, most of which is descriptive and program-specific. The statewide survey results are then summarized, giving an overview of ESL volunteer programming. A separate section is devoted to promising practices and unique program components identified through site visits and interviews with individuals associated with 11 Illinois programs. The final section offers recommendations for improving the quality of ESL literacy volunteerism, intended for policymakers and practitioners. Appended materials include the survey instrument with data summaries and excerpted respondent comments, questions used at site visits, and materials of interest from several of the program sites visited.
