Teaching English As a Second Language
Bilingual education provides a host of benefits to adults. These benefits go far beyond language earning acquisition. In particular, most bilingual education programs foster community, leadership, confidence, and friendship while simultaneously teaching English. These traits are helpful to and often necessary for effective language learning. In his descriptive anthropology of unregistered immigrants, Chavez (1992) revealed that those groups of friends, family, and neighbors have a significant advantage in helping immigrants to establish a residence and gain employment. The author highlights the rate with which those who want to move north utilize these networks. It provides newcomers to the country with a social network, which is vital to language acquisition.
Chavez states, “when recent migrants join more established immigrants, they are provided with a place to stay and their host often helps them find work” (p. 136). Such networks offer momentous benefits to the migrant workers as well as those whose first language is not English. The programs fill in the demand for a family while simultaneously decreasing the foreboding sense of unknown, which oftentimes leads to despair and depression. Such feelings are relatively common when people are presented with a new environment in which to work, learn, and live. Many immigrants have no ties to their native land. Bilingual education methods can extend adult learners’ circle of friends.
