The talented and endlessly resourceful Denver South High School teacher Mr. Eddie Williams welcomes these students, who speak fourteen different languages but no English and are completely unfamiliar with American culture, to his specially created English Language Acquisition class. He guides them through the enormous challenges of gaining basic English skills, adapting to life in the developed world, and coping with the usual pangs of adolescence. Together their class represents a microcosm of the global refugee crisis, and highlights the moral issues of immigration, inclusion, and America's role on the global stage. 000806414 61020 $$aSouth High School (Denver, Colo.)$$xStudents. 000806414 650_0 $$aTeenage immigrants$$xEducation (Secondary)$$zColorado$$zDenver. 000806414 650_0 $$aTeenage refugees$$xEducation (Secondary)$$zColorado$$zDenver. 000806414 650_0 $$aEnglish language$$xStudy and teaching$$xForeign speakers. 000806414 650_0 $$aTeenage immigrants$$zColorado$$zDenver. 000806414 650_0 $$aTeenage refugees$$zColorado$$zDenver. 000806414 650_0 $$aAmericanization. 000806414 85200 $$bgen$$hLC3732.C6$$iT56$$i2017 000806414 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:806414$$pGLOBAL_SET 000806414 980__ $$aBIB 000806414 980__ $$aBOOK
