www.emporia.edu/libsv/esol.htm This site links you to a collection of resources for local school districts with ready access to materials for working with students who are not native speakers of English. The collection contains ESOL/BE texts, content-based texts, research-based materials, children's fiction for the support of native-language literacy, and audio and video tapes in English and eighteen other languages. Thanks to the availability of interlibrary loan, educators throughout the state are able to borrow materials in the collection, simply by requesting them from their local public library or, in some cases, from their own school library.

The Future of Children CHILDREN OF IMMIGRANT FAMILIES
This journal issue focuses on the growing number of immigrant families in
this country, and the challenges faced by their children as the next
generation of Americans. For the most part, children of immigrants benefit
from having healthy, intact families, strong work ethic and aspirations,
and a cohesive community of fellow immigrants to ease their transition.
But they also often face many obstacles, including poverty,
discrimination, limited language skills, and lack of access to quality
health care and education resources.
