註釋"Recently, because of a tremendous increase in the number of non-native students in the U.S., more and more emphasis has been placed on TESOL programs, and the development of such programs is crucial in states such as California where "over 50 percent of the students come from foreign- born families" (Leeds, Ed., 1995, p.7). However, the phenomenon of growth of the non-native population is felt much more widely than is popularly believed. In Washington State, for example, the growth of the Latino population alone in the last ten years accounts for a 114% increase in students (Ramirez, 1997, July 6,p. A1). According to Vern Hild of the Seattle School District's technical-assistance department, "Teachers are frustrated. They don't know what to do" (p. A1). Thus, this study examines the options of whether to place non-native- Limited-English-proficient students into mainstream English composition classes (the English 101 level) or offer them a sheltered environment for English 101 which mirrors the goals, objectives, and curriculum of the mainstream environment. Included in this study are 1) a review of the literature on the pedagogical and methodological differences between mainstreaming and sheltering of ESL students in English composition classes; 2) a proposal for a pilot English 101 course; 3) a detailed description of the English 101-SL (Second Language) course; 4) the author's reflections on the course, the students, and himself; 5) conclusions and recommendations for future education of the non-native students of Eastern Washington University; and 6) appendices including the goals and objectives of the course, textbook selection and evaluation criteria, syllabi, grammar handouts, and other miscellaneous handouts"--Document
