Jim, Are they doing so at the same time? That’s quite a commitment/motivation if they are. And it gives us YET ANOTHER example of how to use the Spanish GED.

Jim, I think you've summarized how I feel as well. We can discuss the various options with students, but in the end, if we offer Spanish Literacy and Spanish GED, it's their choice. Some will choose to do everything in English and take longer to do it, but others will choose to work in their own language. For some students, the Spanish GED provides short-term benefits. But they will still need ESL for future academic or vocational training, if they have limited English. Have any programs tried to encourage students in Spanish Literacy or Spanish GED to take ESL classes as well? Jodi On Feb 8, 2008, at 10:47 AM, Schneider, Jim wrote: I feel compelled to put my two cents in on the Spanish GED. My experience is that both Andres and Ted have valid points. Here in Eastern Iowa, there are few bilingual employers. Employers that are bilingual rarely pay the best wages and are typically short of employees if there are any signs of INS. On the other hand, many of the students who have completed the Spanish GED are already employed, and have fairly decent English skills, but are short on time. Attaining the GED provides them the opportunity for advancement at work and/or access to postsecondary education/training. It has been excruciating watch the one or two who insist on the GED in English get through the Literature and Writing portions of the test. And the difficulty of the new Spanish GED tests are such that it is a rare student who can pass it. The old Spanish GED was attainable for most learners who had a 6-8th grade education. We have found that it is virtually impossible for anyone with less than a 10-11 grade education By simply translating the English test into Spanish and then utilizing the standard scores/norms of the English test, students who have passed it, have EARNED their GED.

Andres, I'm not too sure that some of your perspectives haven't been somewhat altered by living in El Paso. I say that with total respect for El Paso and for your answer. Let me explain. First, I've lived in Texas most of my life, except for some time overseas. I know just about all of our border towns, from El Paso to Brownsville. I've also lived in nine countries outside of the United States and traveled perhaps in twenty more. AXIOM: All over the world, border towns are different from other towns. Persons, regardless of ancestry, who live in border towns anywhere tend to be bicultural and bilingual. They also tend to identify with each other on close levels as being a well-made "tossed salad." If most or all of your students plan to stay in El Paso for the rest of their lives, I totally agree with what you say. However, if they want to go to cities north of the border area; Dallas, Ft. Worth, Austin, Houston, Waco, or out of state, then the picture changes. I am almost as comfortable in Spanish as I am in English and have dealt with persons from every country in Latin America comfortably and successfully, as well as Spain. However, I do not represent anything close to a majority, particularly when it comes to having a business. When persons go for job interviews in non-border towns, being truly bilingual is a great asset and can even result in higher pay and better opportunities. That is true for Spanish speakers and English speakers. However, most of your persons who have had to take the GED in Spanish are not truly bilingual. That's a fact and when they go for a job interview, the human resources person doesn't need paperwork to know that there may be communication problems with clients and on the telephone. The fact is that life is short. However it is long enough for persons to spend a couple of more years acquiring English if it gives them more options in life. Again, if they plan to spend their lives in a border town, this may not be a problem at all. Three years ago, my wife and I and one of our colleagues, took an ESL teaching gig at a cookie factory in Austin. Quite a few of their employees did not speak English and the company wanted to fix that situation. There were 27 persons who had volunteered to take English classes at work, maybe six hours a week. The first problem was how to determine divisions of 27 students among three teachers. I got out a brief "test" that I had used to determine readiness for the ALCPT tests in the past. Here is a copy: ORAL INTERVIEW QUESTIONS TO DETERMINE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE Block 2 Ted Klein Questions marked with an asterisk * are mandatory. Of the remaining questions, ten should be selected at random. Speech of the interviewer will be at normal speed and clarity, with NO exaggeration. 1. What is your name please?* ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Where are you from?* ------- 3. What part of XXXXXXX are you from?------- 4. What is your native language? ------- 5. How long have you been in America? ------- 6. Do you read English?* ------- 7. Did you study English in your country? ------- 8. How long did you study English? ------- 9. Are you enjoying the U.S.A? ------- 10. What do you like here? ------- 11. Is there anything that you don't like? ------- 12. Have you studied any other languages besides English? ------- 13. Why do you want to learn English? ------- 14. How many years of education have you had? ------- 15. Do you have any hobbies? What are they? ------- 16. Do you have any American friends to practice English with? ------- 17. Do you work? Where? ------- 18. What are your plans for the future? ------- 19. Why did you come to America? ------- 20. Do you have any questions for me? ------- Mark responses: 0 no answer. 0+ telegraphic/very simple response. 1 simple, but complete response. 1+ functional and clear response. 2 somewhat elaborate, fairly clear and mostly grammatical response. Interviewees with ten or more answers in the 1+ to 2 range should be ready to take a written proficiency test of listening and reading skills. Non-readers are excluded. (ref: Ques. 6) The three of us interviewed the 27 candidates together. 19 out of the 27 were not able to answer the second question: e.g. (Teacher) Where are you from? (Candidate) ¿Mande? (Teacher) Where are you from? ¿Como? (Teacher) Are you from Mexico? (Candidate) México, "jes." One answered, "México, no, Peru sí." The 8 students who were able to answer that question and maybe four or five more questions were assigned to an "advanced class." The others were split into two groups. What happened here? Many of these persons had lived in Austin for some time. Some for up to ten years. Most had families. The families naturally used Spanish at home, even their children who spoke English at school. They had Spanish-speaking supervisors. They watched television in Spanish. They ate at Mexican restaurants. They went to Spanish-speaking doctors. 95% of their friends were Hispanic. In plain language, if they wanted to stay at the cookie factory, making cookies, they didn't need English, although the company preferred that they know English for upward mobility. This program went on for three or four months.The company merged and our program ended. We did not use Spanish in class. In early training I use materials that I developed based on some of the old "direct methods;" picture flashcards, Cuisenaire rods, etc. and we also concentrated strongly on English sounds, particularly listening and identification. The program went surprisingly well and many of the students were very disappointed when it ended. They had already found some new places to go and some were acquiring English-speaking friends. So what is the good news? Several of our former students have entered the Austin Community College AE program and are doing well. One of them is in my class now. She has a child and often works at night at the cookie factory. Sometimes she comes in looking very tired, but she's surviving. She wants to be a Certified Nursing Assistant. She'll make it! She plans to take the GED in English next year and enter the Nursing Program at ACC. Most of her future patients will not be bilingual and she will be ready for them. That's about it.

Ted: How would the employer know the language that Julian took the GED in? In most states the certificate does not tell you the Language. Texas is one of the few states that tells you the language. However, it is so hard to find that most people wouldn't even know. I have a hard time finding the language reference even though I have seen millions of certificates. Fact is most employers don't even know that people can take the GED in anything other than English, don't ask and do not scrutinize certificates to figure out scores, language, etc. A few might, but the majority don't. For low literacy Spanish speakers it may take them a couple of years to be ready to take the GED in Spanish. It make take them 2 more years to be ready for the English GED. Would you rather hold them two more years. They can take the GED in Spanish and continue to study English. Once they have sufficient English, they can decide if they want to take it in English or to move on to other things.

Jodi and Andres, There is one very real problem with taking the GED in Spanish that I'm aware of. If you have two immigrants, Roberto and Juán, and they both apply for the same job and if Juán took the GED in Spanish and Roberto took it in English, guess who gets the job? Yes, life isn't fair, but most U.S. businesses prefer persons who have gone "all the way" with English. My students and I have discussed this and they have seen or know of this situation with their friends and family members. That is why many AE students remain longer in our ESL classes. Of course in many border towns, this may not be as important since many of the employers are Hispanic or are native speakers of English who are functional in Spanish. However, many customers of the businesses will need to use English. In my current class in Austin, Texas with eleven students, five different languages are spoken. Should we offer the GED in Arabic, Chinese, Korean, and Juba as well as Spanish? Ted www.tedklein-ESL.com ----- Original Message ----- From: andresmuro at aol.com To: crandall at umbc.edu ; assessment at nifl.gov Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2008 5:21 PM Subject: [Assessment 1146] Re: {Dangerous Content?} RE: No Questions or Comments?! Jodi: The credit ESL program in the college is very academic. However it provides students with financial aid and other goodies. We feel that the students will not do well in a credit academic ESL program until they have a level comparable to GED in their native language. Also, a GED certificate is a way to demonstrate ability to benefit to qualify for financial aid. Those students who get into the credit ESL program without native language literacy don't do well. Students can attend other ESL classes in the community while they are attending our classes. We stopped providing ESL because of limited funding to provide what we would consider meaningful ESL. Also, our Spanish GED program is fairly intensive and our students would not have enough time to attend an additional program. We have a few students who may be attending our classes and an ESL class concurrently. Those are a minority The truth is that we started as an ESL literacy program many years ago. There was virtually no funding for literacy ESL unless it had all kind of testing requirements. Also, it is very hard to train teachers to be really good at ESL. The system that encourages large number of untrained part timers prevents this from happening. I know that a lot of people in these listservs claim exemplary service and illustrate with examples of what they have done. I don't doubt that their claims are 100% true. However, we are in the minority. If I could get you and Heide and Elsa and Andy Nash and Leonore and Deborah Schwartz, and Anson Green and Federico and others to be my ESL teachers, I would have the best program in the world. However, the fact is that in addition to the barriers that ESL students face in their daily lives, plus the bureaucratic and assessment barriers that the system creates for teachers and students, plus the difficulty hiring and retaining highly qualified ESL staff makes it very difficult to have a successful ESL program. I feel that until we get rid of WIA/NRS it will be tough to create good stuff in a systematic way. Andres -----Original Message----- From: JoAnn (Jodi) Crandall <crandall at umbc.edu> To: The Assessment Discussion List <assessment at nifl.gov> Sent: Wed, 6 Feb 2008 1:27 pm Subject: [Assessment 1141] Re: {Dangerous Content?} RE: No Questions or Comments?! Andres, It is great that you provide Spanish language literacy and GED classes for your students. There's no question that native language literacy contributes not just to the development of the first language, but also to English language development when students take oral ESL classes. There is some research in this area by Michele Burtoff with Haitians in the U.S. and there is a lot of research (see especially research by David Ramirez which compares children who had 6, 3 or no years of bilingual education) that shows that providing bilingual education not only has all the benefits that would be expected, but students also achieve in English as well or better than those who only had instruction in English. We also found that Spanish GED classes had large numbers of students at the colleges, since students who take the GED in Spanish are able to bypass the need for extensive ESL just to get this credential. They might want to take ESL as well, but the desire for the GED is often for work-related reasons. I'm not clear on why you ask students to wait until after they have passed the GED to take ESL classes. Can you tell us a little more about that? Of course not all students who enroll in adult ESL are Spanish speakers and there may not be enough who speak any language to provide literacy classes for them in their own language, but programs might try to partner with immigrant or refugee-related community-based organizations which could reach more students and also identify someone to provide the instruction. Still, there will be students who will not be able to take literacy classes in their own languages and for them, a separate ESL literacy class seems to be the best option. It would be great to hear from others about their experiences both with first language (Spanish and other languages) literacy classes, Spanish GED classes, and literacy ESL classes. How do you place students in your literacy classes? Do you use a standardized test or do you have informal ways of determining if someone would be better served in a literacy ESL class?
