Introduction
Abstract
Many people associate learning with childhood. However, in reality, lifelong learning continues throughout our lives. For those of you for whom this term is new, “lifelong learning” refers to a “… process of acquiring and expanding knowledge, skills, and dispositions throughout one's life to foster well-being” ( Laal & Salamati, 2012 , p. 400). There are many different types of lifelong learning activities, some examples include university classes, continuing education, sports clinics, and cooking classes. This book focuses on a specific type of lifelong learning: adult literacy learning.
