Discussion of Kerfoot and Wrigley: The Teacher as Bridge between Program and Practice.

Bell, Jill Sinclair

TESOL Quarterly, v27 n3 p467-75 Fall 1993

Two articles on English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) literacy are reviewed regarding the role of the teacher. One emphasizes a North American context with well-trained and experienced teachers; the other, a context whereby learners delineate their literacy use and teachers may be less experienced. An account of Chinese literacy training is reported. (Contains nine references.) (Author/LB)
