Hi Kim,

I don't know of the specific resources you are looking for, but I have
good suggestions for finding the information if it is out there.  I'm
copying this response and thus forwarding your request for additional
materials which is repeated below my message to two people who may be able
to help you further.  One is Matthew Scelza who maintains the ESL special
collection of resources at http://literacynet.org/esl/.  You may want to
check out that Website if you haven't already anyway, and you might find
what you are looking for yourself.  The other person this message is
copied to is Pat Sawyer who is on the Center for Literacy Studies staff
and is our ESL specialist.  If either of these people have resources they
can recommend to you, I'm sure they will.
 
My other good suggestion is that you check out the NIFL-sponsored ESL
discussion list.  You can get to the archives of messages to this list at
http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/discussions/nifl-esl/english_second_language.html
If you check the list out and decide you want to subscribe, you can find a
link to do that on that page.  If you ask for the information about
resources you are seeking from people on the discussion list, you'll get
expert advice from the people in the field.  I highly recommend this
route!

Good look in your search!
