Teachers and students in adult learning programs sometimes experience a sense of academic isolatin and absence of community. To address these two issues, our two ESOL classes in a university - based adult education program worked together on a music project using "near - peer tutoring". Near - peer tutoring, which reflects an "andragogical model" or learner - centered instruction (Knowles 1984), guided the development of the music project by the students. While the notion of near - peer tutoring has been slowly integrated into the field of teaching ESOL, it has been widely accepted in the higher education settings, where it can be effectively modified for the adult ESOL learner. This article presents the progression of the music project from its introduction to the culminating program ceremony, indentifies the five elements described by Imel (1994) for successful adult learning, and discuss the affective - sociological and cognitive linguistic benefits of near - peer tutoring.
