Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse for Social Studies/Social Science Education Bloomington IN. Educating ESL Students for Citizenship in a Democratic Society. ERIC Digest. The 1990 Census reported that nearly 6.3 million children between the ages of 5 and 17 are English-as-second language (ESL) students; that is, they speak a language other than English at home. Although school enrollment dropped by 4 percent between 1980 and 1990, ESL students increased by 41.2 percent. According to the National Association for Bilingual Education, between 2.3 and 3.5 million students are limited in their English proficiency. The Immigration Act of 1990 was designed to further diversify our population. The median age of these immigrants is generally younger than that of native-born residents. The fact that these immigrants are of child-bearing age, and generally have families larger than the United States' average, may further increase the number of non-English speaking students served by the nation's education system. A basic need of this growing population of ESL students is learning how to cope with the rights and responsibilities of citizenship in the United States. So civic education should pervade the curriculum for ESL students. This ERIC Digest treats five facets of civic education for ESL students: (1) needs and goals, (2) content and curriculum materials, (3) use of cooperative learning, (4) use of outside resource persons, and (5) national organizations that provide resources for teachers.

Employers International Foreign Language http://www.uncwil.edu/fll Career Titles Major Skills Web Sites Many occupations today require a college educated individual who can write and speak well, solve problems, learn new information quickly and work well with others on a team. This means that college graduates use their education in a wide variety of fields, and your future career may relate more to your personal career interests, work values and transferable skills than any specific academic major. However, the following list contains a representative sample of current job titles of former Foreign Language majors. Use this as an idea list, and remember that it represents some, but certainly not all, of the careers you might consider. Students obtaining employment immediately upon graduation are usually those with the best college records and a willingness to relocate to find a job. Some of these jobs also require education beyond a bachelor's degree.

Working adaptively from an existing model, each team of participants (representing different languages from around the world) will design and produce a prototype for a freestanding Web-based language course for advanced learners, comprising a curricular outline, an interface design (or "course shell"), and at least one functional unit. Participants will also commit to participate in a videoconference in December 2001 to share the results of the implementation of the course designed at the workshop.
