I am the author of a free bilingual web site for adult ESL learners, Pumarosa.com. It is fairly effective now, and will be expanded later into a full three year curriculum. Texts will be offered in a few months. Plus I also am using it to introduce instruction on the basics of computers. Pumarosa serves as a teachers' aide, and is a complement to other computer programs. So, I would be very interested in establishing connections with others who have an interest in promoting bilingualism not only as a sound educational policy for adult ESL but also as a sound "cultural" policy.
