I am a new subscriber, and since I did not see my introductory posting,
I'll include a little bit about the project I'm beginning. I hope to
look at literacy's role in the learning and acculturation of the
mainland Chinese students who participate in Rensselaer's Sino-US MBA
program. My training as a language arts teacher has served me well in
understanding the theoretical perspectives, though the culture and
cognition strand is certainly new to me.

I'm far less comfortable/adept at issues of research design and
implementation. If anyone is working with international students, or if
anyone can think of research projects related to this area whose design
was especially admirable, I'd be grateful for your observations.
