I think the following would be of interest:
- progression
for learners from pre Entry to Entry 1 in ESOL, including
learners with no
literacy skills in their 1st language; factors impeding
and accerating
learning for such learners; realistic time needed to
progress throughtout the
levels
- effective teaching & learning strategies for ESOL dyslexic
learners,
including learners with limited English where conducting
initial
assessment proves challenging
- my personal interest: student
perception of their learning & our
teaching; anything on using learners'
views on what is good practice in
ESOL teaching and learning; including
comments on choice of
resources/materials/ICT, e.g. textbooks versus
worksheets!

Hello, I'm seeking ideas/opinions.
I am hoping
to complete my MA dissertation next year. I will be putting
together my
proposal in the autumn (and hope it will be accepted!) and
although I have
lots of ideas for what my dissertation could be about, I
would welcome ideas
from other people involved in ESOL at the moment as
I want the research and
work I do to be of real value and in an area
that would be useful to other
people.
When I completed my Post Grad Diploma a couple of years ago I
was
acutely aware of the huge gaps in ESOL research in this country.
There
seemed to be very little and even though some research has been done
in
the intervening two years, I know there are still areas that have
not
been investigated.
I would welcome ideas, suggestions and thoughts
from you before putting
my own ideas into the public arena.
My
experience is mainly working with adult women in a community
setting.
Thanks.
Judith
