Serving ESL students- where do we start?

[Nicole DeCrette <ndecrette@YAHOO.COM>]

Dear Librarians,

I am graduate student currently doing research on
providing services to ESL students in the school
library setting.  I am focusing on the middle and high
school levels. If there is anyone out there who has
great ideas that have worked in there library please
respond.

I am looking for ideas, books, web sites, translation
tools, professional journals, etc.  Where/how do you
start building this part of your collection and
services?

I am an English speaking (only) library assistant like
most of us out there... Those of you in schools with a
growing population of ESL students, I'm sure you know
what I'm talking about.

I'll post a HIT with the ideas when they get compiled.

Thanks for your support,
