  This article provides a framework for developing a literacy program that specifically focuses on the needs of Generation 1.5 learners in the United States. Forrest describes Generation 1.5 learners as those who share "characterists of both first- and second-generations immigrants," (106). Of particular issue with Generation 1.5 students is that even though they have the U.S. cultural sophistication of native English speakers, they tend to lack the academic language, in both English and their home languages. Forrest recommends that high school literacy programs frame their programs around the following three areas of focus: curriculum centered, learner centered, and educator centered.
