Although English is not the official language of the United States it creates a significant language barrier to new immigrants. On the other hand English may be diminishing in importance as America becomes a more ‘global’ nation. This course will explore immigration and the English language from the points of view of encouraging multi-lingual education, making English the official and required language for America and the melting pot theory of assimilation.

The International Restuarant
During our last day in Boston we took a tour of Jaimaca Plains. Our tour of the city ended. Unlike our other tour guides, the person we had chose to come to lunch with us at the International Restuarant. During lunch we tried foods that we don't usually eat. We ate foods such as empanadas, fried chicken chunks, and plaintains. The person who served us spoke a lot of spanish to us. In the end, this lunch was probably the best lunch we had during the trip.
Nice posts and comments on your site!
