Many thanks to Vadim Kiryukhin, Language Teach Technologies software developer, for design suggestions and for hosting this site. This web site is dedicated to the ESL students at San José City College who have graciously and anonymously shared their writing and to all those among us who have crossed borders in search of a more human life. Special thanks are due to ESL instructor Dorothy Pucay and ESL student Dao Ma for compiling a booklet of student writing that provided many of the samples for this project. |
