Kathryn,

I'm not sure which one you are talking about. However, if you go to http://www.nifl.gov/pipermail/englishlanguage/2008/date.html
you will find all of the archives of the discussions. Perhaps you will recognize the author or the title. 

Cheers,   Ted

  Hi Ted,
  In one of the discussions, someone included a site that he uses for photo stories.  I have been to the site and know that this a free download, but there were sample stories there to view.  I can' t find the original email of who sent that.  Someone please let me know.

  Thanks

    Marie,

    I question why the subject project is necessary, since the wheel has already been built, even within the framework of the federal government. A great deal of time and money could be saved, for example, by a visit to the Defense Language Institute English Language Center which has spent decades measuring language acquisition and reporting results to the U.S. Department of Defense.
    They have the tests and the training management systems for doing all of this. The results have to be reliable, because they are training, measuring and reporting on thousands of military personnel of all ranks and specialties and can't afford too many errors in judgment. These personnel are destined for U.S. military training and come from many different countries. For further information, check http://www.dlielc.org/  particularly on testing.

    I retired from DLIELC twenty years ago and feel that their resources are tried, true and among the best. They have been dealing with ESL and literacy since not long after WW II. I subscribe to the National Institute for Literacy (NIFL) mailing lists and saw the announcement on this subject there.

    Respectfully,   Ted
