[EDLING:598] Re: ESL in American High Schools

[Tommy McDonell]

[EDLING:459] List PollHi. English as a Second Language and English Language Learners. For the most part these days, politically correct people use ELL for the students. ESL for classes or TESOL for teaching. 

As for references in high school ESL/ELL, it would be good to be more specific. There are thousands of articles!

  Dear Martha,
  Could you explain ESL and ELL? Is this for L2 learners of English? Acronyms don't translate easily across the Atlantic, I'm afraid.

    Dear Friends,

    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.

    Best,
    Martha Castellon
