[EDLING:599] Re: ESL in American High Schools

[Castellon, Martha Inez]

Sorry about that.  The term ELL stands for English language learners.  So you are correct.  We are looking for books and journal articles that address the teaching of English as a Second Language to American high school students.  Thanks so much for inquiring.

	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
