CHAPTER 1 : The Foreign Born Population in The United States

Hello guys! Here i will give you some review from chapter 1 about The Foreign Born Population in The United States. Happy reading everyone!


The United States has seen a steady increase in the number of foreign-born residents since the 1970s. in 2006, the number was 37,547,789—12.5% of the total U.S. population, up from 10.4% in 2000. Between 2002 and 2006, the level of immigration averaged 1.8 million per year. Hispanics and Asians are the two largest groups represented. Traditionally, the majority of immigrants have settled in a few states, the top five in 2006 being California, Florida, Illinois, New York, and Texas. At the same time, many states have experienced recent growth in foreign-born populations, with 14 states experiencing a 30% or greater increase from 2000 to 2005.

The educational levels and English language proficiency of this population very widely. The majority (68%) have earned at least a high school diploma in their home countries or in the United States, and 52% report speaking English “very well.”

Foreign-born adults play a significant role in the U.S. civilian labor force, with the number growing 76% from 1990 to 2002, compared to a growth rate of 11% for native-born workers. Some studies indicate that immigrants have a positive effect on the overall economy of the United States. However, immigrants often earn lower wages than native-born workers. Factors affecting the income levels of the foreign-born population include level of education, length of time in the United States, immigration status, and English language proficiency.

Maybe that's enough from me. Thanks for your attention guys!

Conclusion

Finally i have done review this book. Here i will give you the conclusion of my book's review. Let's we begin. The adult education system in the United States is committed to provid-ing high-quality instruction for adults learning English. The emphasis on learner assessment and program accountability, professional development for practitioners, program and content standards, transitions to postsecondary and vocational education and the workplace, and uses of technology will help meet this goal. More research needs to be conducted and disseminated on how adults learn English, which instructional and assessment methods are most effective, how practitioners implement professional learning in the classroom, and how technology can best be used for learner instruction and teacher training. In addition, support for efforts in all of these areas is needed from federal, state, and local agencies and practitioners. Thank you for your attention guys. See yaa :)

CHAPTER 4 AND CHAPTER 5

CHAPTER 4 : Professional Development and Teacher  Hello everyone! see me again in my blog. Like usually, here i will share some review from chapter 4 and chapter 5. I hope you guys can enjoyed it. Happy reading people! The need for qualified personnel to work with adult English language learners has risen rapidly in recent years due to the ever-increasing demand for classes. in addition, changing immigration patterns and demographics have had an impact on teachers and on their professional development needs. New teachers are entering the field, experienced teachers are being asked to take on greater challenges, and many adult basic education teachers are working with English language learners in classes along with native English speakers. much of this is occurring in areas where the adult ESL education infrastructure is limited or nonexistent. Professional development is crucial for these teachers. Studies of professional development in adult education shed light on the ...
