(NAME-MCE) question re ESL and Praxis tests

[Sandra OBrien]

I am looking for some research data and/or articles regarding the Praxis
Tests for students who grew up as ESL.  I have many college students for
whom English was not their first language and they appear to be very
fluent in English.  They all seem to have trouble with the reading and
writing parts of the Praxis tests .  Can anyone help with any information
on this topic?
