I just returned from the COABE (Adult Basic Education) conference in
Portland, Oregon.  It was nice to meet people face-to-face with whom I
had corresponded through the listserve.

This summer I will be teaching a writing course to English language
learners to help prepare them for college level composition.  These are
Head Start teachers who need to get an Associates degree in Education in
order to keep their jobs.  

Preparing for this course, I put ESL and writing into an ERIC search
and came up with 7 articles as results.  With the hundreds of thousands
of ERIC documents, is there that much of a dearth of research on writing
in ESL?
