Thanks. As it happens I wrote about something else though I had a
good time looking around at the literature on this topic, so I have
nothing to report. I continue to believe it is a very implortant matter.
<p>Best,

<p><font size=-1>I wanted to follow up with you regarding your message
on the language policy list serve. My organization, AMIDEAST, publishes
a quarterly newsletter for overseas U.S. education advisers. 'The
plight and promise' of non-native speakers in American universities is
a timely issue for us, and my editor may be interested in publishing excerpts
of your essay, if you were interested in such an opportunity. I will
be leaving the office shortly, but you may contact her directly if you
would like to pursue the matter further.</font>

<br><font size=-1>Subject: a request: exciting books?</font>
<p><font size=-1>I've been asked to write an essay about exciting summer
reading in higher education. I'd like to do something on the plight
and promise of non-native speakers in American universities if there is
a really worthwhile recent book that deals with this. Knowing that this
is not exactly the subject of this listserv, I am writing anyway, because
I'm sure some folks on it will have advice. I'd love to hear from you.</font>
