Academic Writing, Servant Leadership, and Technology Integration in Adult English Learning Classroom—A Case Study
Adult learners’ English proficiency and communication skills are essential for securing specialized positions in the 21st-century competitive labor markets. Addressing the unique needs of adult English language learners (ELLs) revealed a critical gap in the existing literature and highlighted the need for further theoretical exploration and practical strategies. A qualitative case study investigated the role of servant leadership and technology integration in teaching academic writing to adult ELLs. Using a case study design, data generated from 15 adult educators illuminated their self-perceptions as leaders who foster inclusive learning environments and deliver high-quality instruction. The study’s outcomes signified implementing immediate feedback, integrating a flipped classroom approach, leveraging advanced technology, and enhancing professional development to elevate workforce readiness for language acquisition and learning experiences.
