Abstract

This Article describes a teacher/research project carried out at a middle school in Springfield, Virginia, where the author (at that time the school's reading resource teacher) and an ESL teacher set out to answer the question What sort of theoretical framework should we use to best facilitate our ESI students' language and literacy development? This project and exploration led to the development of what the author refers to as a "negotiated" curriculum, in which students learned to negotiate and develop their English curriculum in conjunction with their teachers. During study, the students set their own goals, solved their problems, and developed their ideas and knowledge in collaboration with others.
