The new English as a Second Language guide is in. I ordered 200 copies so I imagine they'll last for awhile. It's also in pdf form.
It occurred to me that it would be good to include info about TOEFL in Minnesota, since the need to take the TOEFL test drives many of the requests for this material.
I found this link today to the Minnesota Literacy Council.
It's not on the new guide, of course, but it will be in the next time I print it. The page includes references to U of M and other local TOEFL preparation events and TOEFL and ESL programs:
