"Is Everybody Getting It?": Sustained Support for English as a Second Language Students
Henderson, Paulette A.
About Campus, v14 n4 p8-15 Sep-Oct 2009
As English as Second Language (ESL) students move past their first college year toward degree completion, they may find themselves struggling on their own. This article describes one community college's approach to supporting ESL students throughout their academic career. English as a Second Language Across the Curriculum (ESLAC) provides sustained support for ESL students by improving communication between the faculty of developmental courses, who usher these students into the academy, and the faculty in other disciplines, who will be teaching them later on.
