Teaching English to help Immigrants

The U.S. Department of Education launched U.S.A. Learns, a free Web site to help immigrants learn English.

The Web site, which is located at http://www.usalearns.org/,  provides approximately 11 million adults who have low levels of English proficiency with easily accessible and free English language training. "America's limited-English adults will now have readily available materials to improve their literacy and help them become more productive workers, better parents, engaged community members and active citizens," said Troy Justesen, assistant secretary for the Office of Vocational and Adult Education.
