Education in America is available to everyone,.
This fact opens a huge world of the opportunities in front.
of everyone, no matter what nationality and culture you.
belong to. For young immigrants, American Education means.
the achievement of the very stair where they can stand as an.
equal part of the American society they live in and to be.
helpful for the country they have chosen to be their home.
and that gives them such incredible opportunities.
Although immigrants to the U.S. come from diverse.
backgrounds and cultures, almost all of them face similar.
challenges on the way to their dreams and goals. Young.
immigrants cannot be equal competitors or equal members of.
the American teams because of the proficiency in English.
that create all their problems. .
Every immigrant student has to lead a double life,.
being suspended between an old and a new home. Every day.
they come to the school and enter an American way of life.
and English language; every day they come back home in their.
own culture and traditions, speak their mother tongue with.
their families. All of them are put in the limits of.
helplessness and difference. Imperfection in English lacks.
any practice of this. They are not able to communicate with.
the people that are around them now, and therefore cannot be.
completely free in their lives.
Mastering English is common and the most important.
problem for every immigrant student. Nevertheless, all of.
them are passionate about learning common language because.
now every aspect of their future depends on it. But it takes.
years to know English on American level and students differ.
in their abilities to the learning of other languages not.
only by their individual characteristics but also by the.
features of their own language. For example, Russian.
alphabet has almost one half of the letters that are similar.
to ones in English alphabet. But what about Japanese where.
there is no even a single letter similar to English one?.
The same is true about oral speech and pronunciation in the.
