Hadaway, Nancy
Equity and Excellence in Education, v26 n3 p25-30 Dec 1993
Describes a project at a large, suburban, state university that focuses on providing students who are training to become teachers with exposure to students of limited English proficiency (LEP). To overcome geographic limitations on available LEP students, preservice teachers corresponded with LEP pen pals from elementary and secondary schools. Advantages of this exposure are reviewed. (SLD)
