The following trends have been observed in the workplace literacy literature since 1992: the literature related to workplace literacy is continuing to expand; the literature is reflecting a movement toward a more participatory or collaborative approach to workplace literacy; a research base on workplace literacy is emerging; resources on staff development and teacher training are becoming available; and materials on curriculum development and approaches are continuing to expand.
