Carrasco's Case Studies in BL/ESL Classroom

Introduction In this lesson I display my own research in Bilingual and ESL settings. I always seek comments and reactions to my work especially from teachers. I hope you will also get to know me better, my philosophy and my mission--as a result. Please read these articles carefully; and if the methodology sections seem boring, then skim these sections and go to the descriptions. But quite often the methodology helps to make sense of the description as in the article on Lupita.
