I'm getting ready to defend my comps papers at the university I'm getting my PhD in, and am looking for a real-in-the-field-person to review my "ESL vs Native English Speaking Adults Learning to Read" paper to see how the research literature lines up with the real world. It's actually been fascinating writing this one and I'd love to hear if you see evidence of this kind of thing happening in your classrooms. I posed the question to the list to see if anyone had insights at the onset of the project and a couple of you had some really helpful insights. This also lead to the plateauing at 2nd-3rd grade levels discussion on a couple of the other NIFL lists and the creation of the Adult Ed WIKI to capture those thoughts. There's some great stuff in here if any of you need to defend why ESL and non-ESL students need to be in different classes. Any and all insights are welcome. The paper lives on my personal website: http://applestar.org/Literacy/ESL%20paper.doc If you'd like to reply on-list that's fine, or to my personal e-mail: rejoicer@aol.com Thanks so much!
