[EDLING:593] Re: research assistance - educational narratives

[Rebekah Johnson]

Hi Tamara.  This is an extremely interesting thing to be
researching!  I am an EdD student in Applied Linguistics at
Teachers College, Columbia U. in NYC.  My focus is on the pragmatic
aspects of discourse and language learning.

I am quite busy right now, so if you could please tell me when/how
we could help you, I will be able to tell you if it is possible for
me to do so.
