title: Building an ESL Collection for Young Adults: A Bibliography of Recommended Fiction and Nonfiction for Schools and Public Libraries (Contributions in Librarianship & Information Science)
author: Laura McCaffery
description: This annotated bibliography offers more than 500 titles for grades 5 through adult. The entries are organized by genre or topic and arranged alphabetically by author. They include complete bibliographic information, ISBN, price, Fry Reading Level, interest level, and possible uses in and out of the classroom. An introduction outlines the changing need for ESL materials in the United States and explains McCaffery's selection criteria. Titles range from books published and marketed as ESL or adult literacy publications to mainstream young adult materials. The indexes, especially the ethnic-group index, are very useful. One appendix lists distributors of nonprint materials as well as Internet sites. Timeliness is somewhat uneven; most entries have publication dates between 1992 and 1998. A listing on computer basics is current, while one on AIDS is not. Overall, though, this is a useful guide.<br /><i>Sylvia V.

  This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents either are
  the product of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously. Any
  resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events, or locales is entirely
