Produktbeschreibung
The study sought to understand the acculturation,
personal experiences, perceptions, and views of the
recent adult African ESL learners. These specific ESL
learners present a unique challenge to educators due
to limited educational materials on their background
in the U.S. The knowledge acquired through this study
could be used to adapt ESL programs to better serve
this target population. This study supports reducing
social and psychological distance between adult
African ESL learners and the native English speakers.
The study undoubtedly show that contact with the
natives shapes the learners? lives, as well as
presents opportunities for English language
acquisition. The adaptation strategy espoused by the
adult African ESL learners suggest a significant
increase in the population, and perhaps the beginning
of change in the perception of Africans and their
cultures in the U.S.
