Re: Linguist 13.1763

	Back in the 1970s, I was involved in a project supported by the
(then) U.S. Office of Education to use a concordancing program developed
at Georgetown University to assist ESL teachers in bilingual vocational
programs to determine relevant vocabulary and phraseology to teach in the
ESL classes, so as to connect with and provide English to use to express
what was being taught in the content courses in the students' native
language (since the ESL teachers did not know the vocational field).

Program evaluations did indicate better learning of more practical English
as a result, but no results were ever published, and unfortunately no hard
empirical testing was possible, so the evidence was somewhat anecdotal. An
overall evaluation was done, which I was also involved with, but it was
submitted merely as an internal project report, and not formally
published.
