Let Them Speak for Themselves: ESL Students on Multiculturalism.
McQuillan, Gene
College ESL, v4 n2 p26-38 Dec 1994
Reviews experiences teaching diverse groups of college English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) students. Writing assignments encouraged students to depict a particular aspect of multiculturalism in an autobiographical manner. Until teachers give greater credence to the complex voices of their students, multiculturalism will be an academic discourse the students are compelled to undergo. (21 references) (CK)
