This study focused on the influence culture had on the learning of a second language in two adult English as a Second Language (ESL) classrooms. In particular, the researcher focused on three important areas in which culture could influence learning in the second language classroom: (1) the teaching and learning of a particular language's underlying sociolinguistic rules; (2) the interaction among the instructors' and learners' preferred cognitive processing styles in the classrooms; and, (3) the conflicting and complementary ways in which the instructors' preference for, and the learners' familiarity with, a particular set of participation rules affect the teaching and learning in the classroom.

520 $a This study focused on the influence culture had on the learning of a second language in two adult English as a Second Language (ESL) classrooms. In particular, the researcher focused on three important areas in which culture could influence learning in the second language classroom: (1) the teaching and learning of a particular language's underlying sociolinguistic rules; (2) the interaction among the instructors' and learners' preferred cognitive processing styles in the classrooms; and, (3) the conflicting and complementary ways in which the instructors' preference for, and the learners' familiarity with, a particular set of participation rules affect the teaching and learning in the classroom.
520 $a Both quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques were used to demonstrate a more complete view of the phenomena. An analysis of the data revealed that culture did, indeed, influence the teaching and learning of the observed second language classrooms. Each of the instructors maintained a different level of identification and response to the influence of culture on the second language classroom. This difference in identification and response to the phenomenon accounted for the observed difference between the teaching and learning outcomes in their respective classrooms. One of the instructors had the ability not only to identify the influence of culture on her classroom but also to conceptualize strategies in which to enhance its positive influences. She organized her classroom in a way that provided structural and curricular continuity. The instructor of the other classroom, however, was neither able to discern the level of influence that culture had on the classroom nor able to develop strategies to enhance the communicative, learning, and participation skills of the participants. The latter case was revealing, however, since it provided evidence as to how the failure to recognize the influence of culture in the ESL classroom by the instructor negatively affects the adult students' learning of the second language.
520 $a Based on these findings, the researcher recommends that programs consider introducing a strong professional development agenda. Initiatives such as action research, practitioner inquiry, peer coaching, and mentoring hold great promise for the professional development of adult basic educators.
