Understanding Immigration Employment Rights: An ESOL Tool
The following post appears courtesy of the Office of Special Counsel of the Civil Rights Division.
ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) instructors and immigrant advocates now have new workbooks at their disposal courtesy of the Justice Department’s Office of Special Counsel for Immigration Related Unfair Employment Practices (OSC) education grant program.
Through lessons titled: "Working in the United States" and "Discrimination in the Workplace," the workbooks educate potential victims of employment discrimination about their rights under the anti-discrimination provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
These ESOL workbooks are available to the public free of charge in instructor and student versions.
The workbooks are the centerpiece of an ESOL curriculum jointly developed by two co-recipients of an OSC grant: The New York City Commission on Human Rights and the New York Immigration Coalition. The curriculum was designed for adult ESOL classes held at public libraries, community colleges, workforce development agencies, and other venues in New York City. ESOL classes are the perfect vehicle to teach recently-arrived immigrants of their employment rights while simultaneously developing their English language skills.
