The New York Times ESOL Student's Guide to New York City was developed to inspire and challenge adult ESOL students to improve their English language skills while experiencing much of what the city has to offer. This is mostly for students that have attained a higher level of English, but I think it's a great way to encourage on-going learning for adults, which are parents of children that are looking forward learning English as well

Undoubtedly the immigrant population continues to grow in the U.S. but what are the issues arising? Are immigrant children receiving the education they need? I think that this article is extremely good in listing problems perceived not only by students, but also teachers and counselors. The study provides with a solution "Updating training methodology and shifting traditional curricula for school counselors to multilingual principles at the higher education levels deserves to be considered"

Study findings indicate the importance of assisting novice teachers to acquire awareness and abilities in this area (ESOL planning) as a goal for second language teacher education. I like this study because it clearly shows how ESOL teachers must continually adapt to their students. They must remain flexible at all times. I believe that ESOL teachers are not all well prepared for the challenge of having such a diversity of students. However, if they followed some of the tactics that some of the teachers in the study use they can help their students succeed

"As old divisions vanish, waves of immigration have fueled new ones between those who speak English and those who are learning how"
