America as a nation is arguably the most pluralistic nation of the
twenty-first century. It is common to hear many different languages
in the schools, shopping centers, airports, or neighborhoods in the
United States. ESL classes help people of these different language
groups learn how to communicate in English, so it is only natural
that an ESL curriculum addresses topics relevant to a person's
journey toward biculturalism. The goal of this advanced English
conversation curriculum is to help ESL learners mainstream into the
dominant culture and develop a comfortable bicultural identity.
That way, they can be at home in both their culture of origin and
their new "foreign" culture. The expectation is that through
English conversation practice and discussion of topics relevant to
them, learners will develop the confidence to move outside the
cocoon of their own language group. They can then interact
successfully in English in the daily routines of life because they
understand English and can be understood by English-speaking
people. The content is developed from real-life stores, written by
a team including ESL learners about issues they have experienced in
learning how to live successfully in the United States. Since the
curriculum is discussion-based, it gives the learners the
opportunity to discuss their feelings and to support one another in
their cultural adjustment.
