<DIV>We are most interested in finding resources that deal with
methodology for teaching high-school aged English language learners who are at
the beginning stages of English proficiency. What are the special
challenges presented by teaching English to adolescent immigrants to the
U.S. who may or may not be literate in their first language? How can we
best address these challenges in terms of language instruction in reading,
writing, speaking, and listening?</DIV>

Is this for L2 learners of English? Acronyms don't translate easily across

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am writing to solicit any references you might have
with respect to the teaching of ESL (or English language development) at
the high school level. I am currently working on a project at
Stanford that is developing online teacher professional
development materials for teachers of high school ELLs. Any
references that you can provide (journal articles, textbooks, or
otherwise) are much appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
