Gutiérrez & Orellana 2006, ELL Genres of Difference

Gutiérrez, K. & Orellana, M. (2006). The "Problem" of English language learners: Constructing genres of difference. Research in the Teaching of English, vol. 40, no. 4, 502-507.

Essay describing the limitations of many studies of ELL populations that result from methodology common to these studies. The authors describe these studies as a genre, with common characteristics, from participant selection to methods of analysis, typical of its members.

This might be an interesting article for AM's current project.

This article does not relate to genre in children's writing or literature.
