Special Amnesty Issue.
TESOL Adult Education and Refugee Concerns Interest Sections Newsletter, v16 n2 Jan 1990
This special issue of the newsletter of the Adult Education Interest Section (AEIS) of the Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), prepared in cooperation with TESOL's refugee concerns interest section, concerns the response of the English-as-a-Second-Language teaching profession to Immigration and Naturalization Service regulations related to immigrant amnesty. In addition to letters from the Chair and Associate Chair of AEIS and from the Refugee Concerns Chair, the issue contains four articles. "SLIAGing in Massachusetts: Collaborative Efforts" (Lenore Balliro and Rich Levy) presents the perspectives of the Adult Literacy Resource Institute in Boston and the Massachusetts Department of Education on provision of education programs for immigrant amnesty."Linking Curriculum with Community Concerns" (Heide Spruck Wrigley) offers alternatives to the standard civics curriculum for increased relevance to student needs. "Federal Policy and Legalization in the 1990s" (Rob Paral), looks at trends in legalization instruction, testing, and recruitment and retention; and "Developing Critical Consciousness through ESL Education" (Ken Bunke) discusses the combination of Freirean theory with the guidelines of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. Conference and professional announcements and materials reviews are also included. (MSE) (Adjunct ERIC Clearinghouse on Literacy Education)
