    Ugh. I can't annotate the PDFs. Janopoulos might have some useful info on writing proficiency exams, but from 1995. Ann M. Johns (2001) has some best practices opinions for international comp and (1991) for English competency exams. Matsuda and Jablonski (n.d.)--seems to contradict what I said about the difference in L1 and L2 learning needs being only a difference of degree. Wolfe-Quintero and Segade, "University Support for Second-Language Writers Across the Curriculum" (1999)--looks promising. Angelova & Riazantseva (1999)--case studies of international students learning the conventions of academic writing in the US. Zawacki & Habib (2010) "'Will Our Stories Help Teachers Understand?' Multilingual Students Talk about identity, academic writing, and expectations across academic communities."  As a side note: working with these kinds of sources could make an interesting WAW theme for a Comp II-international section.

  • It’s taking money from people who will get almost nothing in return, it’s fabricating an illusion of diversity and it’s potentially wrecking the lives of naïve students who will spend an academic year alienated and confused.
