Rosen" <DJRosen@theworld.com> To: Multiple recipients of list <nifl-esl@literacy.nifl.gov> Subject: [NIFL-ESL:7932] Purpose of the NIFL-ESL List X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Status: O Content-Length: 1230 Lines: 38 NIFL-ESL Colleagues, Regarding what the expectations are for the NIFL-ESL electronic list: According to the NIFL-ESL Welcome message which one receives after subscribing, NIFL-ESL is "one of 11 discussion lists set up by the National Institute for Literacy. Since March 1995, the English as a Second Language (ESL) Discussion List has provided a forum for those teaching English language literacy to adults." Perhaps it would be useful for Lynda Terrill, the new NIFL-ESL list moderator, to post the NIFL-ESL list guidelines so everyone can see the purposes, expectations and "netiquette." Specifically: 1. Is the focus of the list adult and family ESL/ESOL (not k-12) ? 2. What are the expectations about critiquing/complaining about/railing against a specific school or program? (On the national electronic list which I moderate this is not permitted because not everyone has access to a range of information and points of view about a particular local program, those responsible for that program are not always subscribers to the list and, a national/international electronic list is not the place to address local problem, regardless of how serious they may be.
