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.

We're off to a great start!!
With about two weeks left before our departure to the city of Boston, our group met today for about 15mn and talked and shared exciting ideas related to our topic. The students seem to be more interested in our topic as we are getting closer to December 16. They have been encouraged to brain storm some ideas and come up with questions and present them to the group in our next meeting. It's looking good so far!!
