Summary:

Building on the work that has been done over the past decade, this volume provides theoretical frameworks for understanding debates about immigrant students, studies of students' schooling paths and language and literacy experiences, and pedagogical approaches for working with generation 1.5 students. Since the mid-1970s, U.S. colleges and universities have experienced a dramatic increase in the population of immigrant students who entered the educational system as children and developed complex bi- or multilingual repertoires throughout their adolescence. The term "generation 1.5" is used to describe these students because their immigrant and educational journeys position them somewhere between first generation adult immigrants and the U.S.-born second generation children of immigrant families.

Generation 1.5 in College Composition:

is designed to help both scholars and practitioners reconceptualize the fields of College Composition and TESOL and create a space for research, theory, and pedagogy focusing on postsecondary immigrant ESL students

provides both important new theoretical work (which lays the underpinnings for serious pedagogical innovation) and important new pedagogical approaches

Because of their varied and complex language and literacy profiles, generation 1.5 students are found in developmental English courses, college ESL courses, and mainstream college writing courses. This volume is directed to preservice and inservice teachers, teacher educators, and researchers involved with educating generation 1.5 students in these and other contexts.
