We have a project in this area at Monash University. Specifically, we're
looking at introductory teaching languages. You might be interested in:

Programming Language Design", Proceedings Software Engineering:

NZ, 8pp, 1996. (also as: Technical Report 95/234, Computer Science
Department, Monash University, Melbourne).
