Participants will learn about reading/writing strategies that can be used when working with "Generation 1.5" students – immigrants who arrived at an early age, have been in the U.S. for an extended period of time, and yet still have ESL-like features in their writing when they enter high school or college. The presenter will also discuss how the experiences, characteristics, and language/literacy needs of these students may differ from those of more recently arrived immigrant students.
