Looking Beyond English: Linguistic Inquiry for English Language Learners

The pilot project took place at a public high school in Greater Boston where Ginsberg was then an ESL teacher. Ginsberg initiated this project because he was seeking to supplement the curriculum of his high-intermediate ESL class with critical inquiry activities. He approached Honda and O’Neil for linguistic inquiry materials that he could incorporate into his classes. Instead, using existing materials only as a starting point, the three of us decided to develop a curriculum specifically for this student population.
