Here is link to the article - A Mutually Adaptive Learning Paradigm for

Subject: [EnglishLanguage 3774] Favorite Readings

 

I think everyone on the list might enjoy sharing short lists of
professional-type readings that pertain to English language learners
with limited formal schooling.  

 

I'd like to recommend these (I'm not repeating things that Elaine Tarone
and others have already mentioned):

2.     Weinstein, G. (1986). From mountaintops to city streets: An
ethnographic investigation of literacy and social process among the
Hmong of Philadelphia. Unpublished Dissertation, University of
Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.

3.     Arthur, J. (2003). 'Baro Afkaaga Hooyo!' A case study of Somali
literacy teaching in Liverpool. International Journal of Bilingual
Education and Bilingualism, 6(3&4), 253-266.

4.     Biber, D., & Hared, M. (1991). Literacy in Somali: Linguistic

5.     McMichael, C. (2002). 'Everywhere is Allah's place': Islam and
the everyday life of Somali women in Melbourne, Australia. Journal of
