GEN: English Language Learners

[Christine Ciofolo <ccwriter@OPTONLINE.NET>]

I am currently a student in a school LM program and doing a project on resources 
for English Language Learners.  I found some information in the archives but am 
interested in getting some feedback from you, the experts.
How do you determine what to purchase? I've looked at some research that stresses 
the importance of native language literacy and can see the impact of this on 
resources for early elementary school students.  What about middle and high 
schoolers?  Does anyone purchase foreign language or bi-lingual YA fiction?
Any information or a good direction to go to for research would be appreciated.
Thanking you in advance.  I hope you all have a wonderful summer.
