Second language acquisition
Hi LucyAnna, and thank you for your contribution to second language acquisition! Your entry looks like good stuff, but I'm afraid I reverted it because it was a little off-topic. (Don't worry, it is still available for you to view in the page history.) The second language acquisition page is about second language acquisition in general, but your content was about a specific case of that, of English language learners in mainstream schools where English is the language of instruction. I thought about trying to fit your content in another article, maybe English as a foreign or second language or bilingual education, but it seems too long for that. I think in this case creating a new page might be the best thing to do. Can you think of a good title for it? You can reply here, as I'll be watching this page. All the best.  — Mr. Stradivarius  ♫ 09:31, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi again, this is just to let you know that I have included your content at the article English language learner. I have also added a new introduction and new headings, and I intend to clean it up a bit more over the next few days. It would be great if you could help out with the editing. Leave me a message here if you're not sure where to start.  — Mr. Stradivarius  ♫ 14:55, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I've finished cleaning up the citations at English language learner. Why don't you take a look and see if you like it? I have also noticed that three of the citations you provided didn't have corresponding references in the references section - Gitlin, Buenda, Crosland & Doumbia, 2003; Verplaetse, 1998; and Reilly, 1988. Do you have the reference data for these? If you do I'll put it in the article for you. —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 13:31, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, I've managed to find the three references by myself, so you don't need to worry about that. However, I noticed when I was copy-editing the article that you talk about "standards-based content" and "standard-based instruction". Are you referring to instruction based on the TESOL standards, or some other standards? Thanks in advance. —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 06:21, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
