One of my students is doing research on dialect features that show up in
student writing. She hasn't been able to find anything recent on this
topic. She is looking for information on:
1. which dialect features tend to show up in students' writing
2. What specific strategies people have come up with to help students
"bridge" to SWE (standard written English)
3. Who the current experts are in this field.

She'd appreciate any help. Please email your responses to her at
kurtpatt at isu.edu

Thanks
Sonja
