An AP report of March 12 entitled "More time needed to learn English" includes: "It takes many students longer than three years to complete English as a Second Language courses, and that is when the state [Iowa] stops paying school districts for the program . . . To expend the cap to four years would cost another $2.5 million. To extend it to five years would cost about $5 million." One can observe that English as a Second Language is not taught as simply a pragmatic language course with the goal to communicate, but as a social/cultural program. Yet, what is the goal of ESL? If Basic English can be taught to a motivated student in one month, then adaptation to a typical classroom and addition of appropriate culture-content would require one semester, or at most, one year, to enable an immigrant to participate in a normal classroom. Savings: about $5 million each year and avoidance of a proposed additional $5 million -- in Iowa alone. If extended nationally, these numbers approach one billion dollars saving per year in public education. At the same time the immigrant becomes able to speak the International language and participate in society years more quickly. | ||||||||||||||
