Hello,

I am working on a TESOL Master's thesis and having
trouble finding relevant recent studies.  

My topic has emerged from my work with a group of
Somali Bantu refugees.  I have been teaching them
literacy for a few months now.  I am looking to create
a curriculum based on best practices and my own
experiences.  

Is anyone aware of studies done after 1996 (2000s are
even better!) that consider the teaching of second
language literacy to pre-literate adults?

I will be ever grateful for any assistance and
delighted to discuss these topics in more detail with
anyone who is interested.

Thank you for your time!
