I attended a town hall meeting with my US Representative, Ro Khanna, today and several members of the audience expressed grave concerns about immigration raids in their local schools. Here are some immigrant rights resources to start the conversation with your school administrators, staff, teachers, and students. Please share and expand the list. Thanks!

Students who do not complete the form by the deadline will not be allowed to ride the school bus. Due to school liability,  NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE, as we need an accurate headcount to finalize transportation arrangements.

Black Friday - What is it? When is it?

 


Learn more about U.S. culture and in particular the American holiday shopping season. Listen to interviews with a native and non-native speaker. We will also study vocabulary related to retail and finance. 

NOTE: I'm very sorry to announce as of January 2012 links to EnglishCafe will no longer be active due to the site closing. I was very lucky to be a part of that online community while it lasted. I'm also sorry for the loss of additional materials for learners.
