Do I have to subscribe to The Change Agent to get a copy of the article on immigration?
I have been absent from this list for a while, developing an approach that is based on creating a multi-media
distance learning program for adult ESL students. Below is an outline and I look forward to any comments.
MULTI MEDIA ESL DISTANCE LEARNING PROGRAM AND LIBRARY
Many adult immigrants in the US need to learn English as a Second or Foreign Language and to prepare for the US Citizenship test.
But, because of a variety of reasons, they are unable to attend classes in adult education learning centers.
A program based upon a Multi-Media Distance Learning Library can meet the needs of these English learners.
The program could include:
For those students who do not have computers at home, there is a program called Computers for Families that provides low-cost and even free computers to selected families.
Funding to start a Multi-Media Library can be obtained from grants provided by many Foundations.
