Immigrants to the U.S from different corners of the world often find it difficult to get assimilated into the local culture. Even though the U.S is one big great melting pot of people from different regions, they are all largely united by a common language – English. As an applicant for a green card you have to demonstrate some level of skill with the language and taking an ESL course can boost your chances of getting a green card and also a student visa if you are applying for one.

There are various institutes all over the world that offer specially-designed courses of English as a second language. In America, you can take up ESL as a minor subject while majoring in another subject.

In Jean-Paul Sarte’s play, No Exit, 3 people are locked in a room together forever. Eventually they figure out that they are in hell and this is their punishment. If being locked in a room with 2 other people is hell, what do you call it when the room is on fire and you can’t get out?

That’s what American writer Florence Lasser explored in her play, The Story of the ILGWU (International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union).

What is an accent? An accent is the carryover of sounds from the speaker’s original language to the second language. When we are infants we literally have the ability to speak any language in the world. We are all born with the necessary speech mechanisms and the capability to learn any language. We end up speaking the language that we do solely by reinforcement. The sounds a baby hears and the speech patterns he is exposed to are the ones that she develops.

 
Soon the baby gains the fine motor skill and control she needs to create sounds herself. The infant will begin by babbling and playing with sounds. Soon she is able to produce simple vowel/consonant combinations which maybe why mama and dada are often their first words, they can make the combination and the big reaction it elicits reinforces their efforts.
 
By 18 months she will be able to produce about 20 words that have meaning and understand around 50 words. Now babies of course have the ultimate immersion experience. In order to obtain any control over their environment they must learn the language and they are surrounded by the language almost 24 hours a day. (more…)
