Lynda Terrill NCLE lterrill@cal.org ******************************************************************************************* The prison population is disproportionately younger, less educated, and more linguistically and culturally diverse than the rest of U.S. population. Many are parents. Most will return to the correctional system after release. Against the backdrop of this grim reality, what can an ESL teacher working with youth (ages 16-24) in correctional settings do to help them learn English and be less likely to return to the system? Margo DelliCarpini, in her digest English Language Instruction for Incarcerated Youth http://www.cal.org/ncle/digests/incarcyouth.htm, discusses issues and challenges in providing English language instruction to linguistically and culturally diverse incarcerated youth and suggests best practices and models to provide intervention. If you would rather not download the digest from our Website, contact NCLE at ncle@cal.org, or at (202) 362-0700 (phone), extension 200; (202) 363-7204 (fax) and we'll send you a copy.
