1. Paul Kei Matsuda, Second Language Writing at CCCC 2001

Second language writing seems to have become a legitimate area of
inquiry within composition studies, as evidenced by a growing number
of sessions related to this topic at this year's Conference on College
Composition and Communication (CCCC) Annual Convention.

Many of the papers and panels on ESL are indexed on page 28 of CCCC
2001 program book. In addition, there will be a number of special
events related to second language writing:
