One question: Elaborate and support: "the sympathy of King Abdullah with the poor and the needy, and his help for them." another one: "the concern by King Abdullah for building the Saudi human with thought and not with money. another: "What is the stance of King Abdullah toward the Palestinian cause?"

Kathy's suggested reading on the growth of bridge programs.

A text that Amanda uses in her Rhet. Comp. class.

Guest Editor's "Introduction," Ann Johns "Demystifying Disciplinary Writing: A Case Study in the Writing of Chemistry," Stoller, Jones, Costanza-Robinson, Robinson "Linguistically and Culturally Diverse Students' Perceptions of Successful Classroom Practices in a UK Graduate Program," Sarah Rich "Familiarizing Postgraduate ESL Students with the Literature Review in a WAC/EAP Engineering Classroom," Gavin Melles "Teaching Academic Writing to International Students in an Interdisciplinary Writing Context: A Pedagogical Rough Guide," Kam & Meinema "

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. 

This one looks most relevant to our goals out of the ones in this journal issue.
