ABSTRACTA program to train volunteer teachers of English to
speakers of other languages (ESOL) is described and evaluated. The
program was designed to enrich skills for teaching listening,
reading, and speaking, and increase volunteers' appreciation and
understanding of the multicultural backgrounds of the students in one
adult basic education center. The instructional skills component
consisted of training in use of a computer program for students with
reading disabilities. The multicultural component consisted of five
workshops on these topics: multiculturalism in general; celebration
of Christmas around the world in music and dance; Asian languages and
cultures; Spanish language and cultures; and Portuguese culture. This
report summarizes the two program components and results of pre- and
post-tests of the volunteer trainees, provides data on the population
served by the center, includes substantial bibliographies on the
cultures treated in the program and documents and instructional
materials used in program implementation. (MSE) (Adjunct ERIC

Description: This program for volunteer teachers provided enrichment in the teaching of
ESOL skills and increased appreciation and understanding of the multicultural backgrounds
of the students attending the IHM Literacy and GED Center. The teaching and learning of
listening, reading and speaking skills through hands-on use of the Autoskill Subskills
Program complemented the cultural enrichment offered by five sprcialists throughout
the year.
Objectives: To offer a program in Staff Development Training for the volunteer faculty
teaching ESOL courses to multicultural-multiethnic adults who need to learn English
and become acquainted with the mores of their new country.
*Target Audience: The Audience for this multilingual/multicultural staff developmentcourse were,the ESOL teachers of adults from 48 countries. Few of the 62 volunteer
teachers and tutors who constitute the faculty of the IHM Literacy and GED Center had
specific training for teaching ESOL or discussing the cultures in a multicultural program.
Product(s)--if applicable:
N/A
Method(s) of Evaluation: The comparison of the pretest and posttest results of the
Unisys Autoskill Component Reading Subskills Program provided evaluation of the
Reading Courseware Training Program, Interviews, follow-up discussions, and evaluatiion
sheets distributed after each of the:five workshops on cultures offered gave evidence
of the multicultural enrichment of the teachers. Evaluation of the teacher's personal
reaction to the instructional materials, textbooks, workbooks, video-cassette presen-tations was gleaned through teacher surveys and workshop assessment forms.
Findings: The hands-on approach proved to be the most effective way to instruct volunteerteachers in the use of the Autoskill Program. The teachers had a better understanding of
value of the auditory-visual program. They could clearly understand why this program is
an excellent method for inexperienced teachers to use in teaching the basic skills to ESOL
students: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The volunteer teachers attending the
workshops on Multiculturalism concluded that they will have a broader and better knowledgeKnassIgHit students they are teaching as a result to their participation in the workshops.
The major conclusions of the Teaching Strategies for ESOL Volunteers-report are:
1. volunteer teachers of ESOL should receive hands-on training in the use of both hardware
Alkand software in modern technology.II/2. presenters who know and understand the cultures of the Asians, the Hispanics, and the
Portuguese can give the most practical suggestions to classroom teachers who offer courses
to adults from these countries.

D. INTRODUCTION:
1. This project was developed to foster an appreciation of
a votunteer faculty for the use of technology in teaching ESOL
to the multicuttural community represented in the enrollment of
the IHM Center. The Unisys computers, the file server, and the
Autoskill program were donated to the Center, but many of the
teachers were not familiar with their great advantages for
teaching ESOL.. The increasing diversity in the surrounding
urban population demanded that we try to educate our teachers
and tutors to appreciate other cultures.
2. The time frame for the project was one year from July
1992 to June 30, 1993. The first.workshop was offered for two
410days in July of 1992. Five Multicultural workshops were offered
every other month from NOvember 1992 to May 1993.
Mrs, Adrienne Harris presented the twoday handson workshop
on the Unisys computers. Invited specialists offered workshops
on the various cuLtures represented in the multiculturat adult
student enrollment of the IHM Center.
Mutticulturalism in general was offered by Dr. Ernestyne
Adams; the cultures featured in the multicultural series were
the Asians, the Hispanics, end the Portuguese. The Center's
Christmas Program, CeLebtetIollAbristessAlrouod-..theAforid...im.

Pakistan, IreLand, Puerto Rico, India, and Laos.
3. The staff and other personnel were Sister Nary Ellen
Eckardt, IHM, Ph.D, Director; Mrs. Marie Beokert, M.A.,
Assistant Director; Sister Mary Mark Peulkowski, IHM, M.A.; and
Mrs. Karen Hadalski.

4. The audience for whom the programs were planned was the
volunteer teachers at the IHM Center in both morning and evening
classes. The adult students came from thirtythree countries of
Africa, Asia, Europe, and North and South America. The major
linguistic groups represented in the IHM Center Programs are
Hispanic, Portuguese, Brazilian, Vietnamese, Southeast Asian,
and Asian Indians.

E. Report
a. STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The faculty of volunteer teachers
needs courses that will expand and enhance their expertise in
teaching ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) courses
and their understanding and appreciation of the cultures of the
adults in the Center's enrollment.
b. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: The courses concentrated on the
teaching of the English skills of listening, speaking, reading,
and writing to nonEnglish speakers. Understanding end
appreciation of the many cultures of the adult students was
IIIincreased through lectures, videocessettes, tapes, films, and
followup discussions.
-3-
C. PROCEDURES: This program addressed three areas of need
cited as priorities by the State: English to Speakers of Other
Languages (ESOL) sometimes referred to as English as a Second
Language (ESL), Education for multicultural popuLations, and
Computerassisted instruction.
The Component Reading Subskilts Program includes
computerassisted instruction. In accordance with several
current theoretical issues it addresses problems related to
reading disabilities of all types. The approach to remedial
training used in this Program involves the development of
training programs specific to different subtypes of reading
disabilities. The programs have been developed for the oral
411 reading (Type 0); intermodalassociative (Type A); and the
sequential (Type S) subtypes of reading disability. An
important feature of this training program involves the
automaticity theory which proposes that the component skills for
reading letters, syllables and words must be overlearned to a
level of rapid automatic responding so that higher levels of
reading such as comprehension can be attained. The programs
also incorporate a combination of the taskanalytic and
processoriented models.
The program has helped volunteer teachers
to develop strategies in teaching ESOL Skills of
understanding, listening, speaking, reading, and
writing English to nonEnglish speaking adults
to develop and increase understanding of various
r-f
-4-
cultures of their adult students
Five staff development workshops, one every other month
concentrated on the language and culture of a particular group
of adult students at the IHM Center. The first workshop was a
presentation on.the development of multiculturalism in the
1990,e. Dr. Ernestyne Adams of Temple University made this
presentation.
The first cultures highlighted after Multiculturalism were
those of "The Asians" offered by Brother Francis Tri Van Nguyen,
F.S.C., Ph.D. Included in this Lecture and discussion were the
Vietnamese, the Chinese, the Koreans; the Cambodians, and the
Laotians.
Because of the heavy enrollment from the Caribbean and
Central and South America, the second staff meeting treated the
Spanish Language and cultures. Mrs. Maria Beckert, M.A., of the
IHM Board of Directors and a native Peruvian, was the presenter
of the Hispanic Cultures.
The presentation was an overview of the demographics of the
Hispanic population the United States and most specifically, of
the two local communities in Philadelphia which the Center
serves. The basic objectives were to broaden the teachers,
sensitivity in dealing with Hispanics and to provide
multicultural recommendations for classroom settings.
In the final presentation, Dr. Diamantino Machado traced the
history of the Portuguese people from the Roman era to the
-5-
present. Ho cited the contributions of the Portuguese in the
development of Western Culture. In the second part of the
questionandanswer session he explained the effects of the
geographic proximity to Spain and the influence of the
Portuguese government in impeding the development of modern
Portugal.
The response of the IHM faculty was very positive with at
least forty teachers and tutors attending every workshop.
Workshop evaluation sheets were distributed after each session
and a teacher's survey was completed after all five workshops.
(Samples of these have been enclosed.) 'As a result of the
survey, we are planning to expand and continue the Multicultural
Workshop series.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The handson workshop on teaching ESOL could have been
scheduled for a Longer period of time; two days was not a long
enough period. However, the handson approach was the most
effective and well appreciated by the volunteer teachers
participating.
2. Having presenters who understand the cultures of the
Asians, Hispanics, and the Portuguese was a most enriching
experience for all the volunteer teachers. These introductory
workshops drew such an enthusiastic response that the teachers
asked for further development in future presentations.
3. Cultures which can be the subject of future
110 Multicultural workshops are the Caribbean Countries, the
Koreans, the Peruvians, the Colombians, and the Laotians.

Multicultural Education
Description of the Workshop
It is probable that most people would agree that intolerance of difference is aprimary factor which interferes with interaction among human beings.Differential socialization contributes to such intolerance. This workshopassumes that intergroup understanding and acceptance of differences do notoccur just because we want them to. Such learning cannot be lett to chance;"teachable moments" must be created. There are three basic assumptions inwhich the context of the workshop is grounded:
1. In contemporary U.S. society, it is almost impossible for an individual to besocialized without an awareness of cultural differences and of the socialvaluations accorded these differences;
2. Teachers and counselors, as socializing agents, bring to the teaching-learning process their own cultural education; and
3. Learning new attitudes and feelings and unlearning familiar, traditionallyharmful attitudes and feelings about others and oneself can occur throughthe intellectual exploration of experience.
Workshop Objectives
Knowledges and Understandings
1. To understand the dynamics of differential socialization based on culturaldifferences;
2. To learn the nature of dominant culture in order to clarify one's own culturalpreferences; and
3. to understand the distinctions between prejudice, discrimination,stereotypes, and ethocentrism.
Attributes and Appreciations
1. To internalize the meaning of cultural consciousness and cross-culturalawareness;
2. to be convinced that communication among persons of different culturalbackgrounds can be blocked by culturally conditioned assumptions madeabout each other's behaviors and cognitions; and
3. To foster attitudes that can help convert anger, denial, guilt, andpaternalism into commitment and knowledge needed to combat the effects ofcultural conditioning.
Abilities
1. To use accurately terms essential in understanding cultural conditioning;
2. To recognize that socializing agents (like teachers and counselors) bringfeelings about race, ethnicity, and re'.',ion to the teaching-learning process;
3. To distinguish accurately between myth and fact;
4. To use culturally-sensitive reasoning skills; and
5. To locate and gather information that fosters intercultural competence.
Methods
Almost every participant in a workshop that concerns race and culture entersthe experience with strong feelings about self and others. These feelings canserve to facilitate learning or to sabotage trust. Thus, the creation of anacceptable teaching-learning climate is essential. The workshop emphasizesactive involvement and interpersonal interactions. Participants are expected torespond sensitively and with respect to each other while at the -same time toengage in critical dialogue. A substantial amount of the work time will be donein small groups. Strategies and materials such as visuals, role-playing, andopen-ended situations will be used.

CULTURAL DIVERSITY AND LEARNING
Culture structures the ways individuals perceive/(objects, people, ideas),think, behave, and respond (Wasserman, 1971). Culturally different groupshave developed strategies to cope with environmental, social, economic, andpolitical demands (Ogbu, 1988). Knowledge, definition, and descriptions of theunique qualities and differences of diverse urban student populations(learners) provide a perspective for focusing on human functions andinteractions at multiple levels of educational systems and are necessarycomponents of any effort to redesign schooling.
Definitions
Culture can be defined in the following ways:
S . Ideations, symbols, behaviors, values, and beliefs that are shared by ahuman group. Programs for adapting to the environment (Banks, 1989).
The knowledge, ideas, and skills that enable a group to survive(Bullivant, 1989).
A problem-solving process in which members of a social group (society)engage collectively in response to the demands of their environment(physical, social, and spiritual); resulting in shared patterns of ways ofresolving problems of existence in the context of time and space (Avery,1992).
6 Language is a cultural product subject to unique laws and principles andgeneral properties of mind (Chomsky, 1972).
Cultural transmission is an outcome of the socialization process, i.e., thematch between a "support system" in the social environment and an"acquisition process" in the learner (Bruner, 1985).

DIFFERENTIAL SOCIALIZATION AND LEARNING
ETHNIC IDENTITY
The objectives of this exploration are: 1) to clarify the dynamics of differentialsocialization; 2) to clarify one's own perceptions of his/her cultural background; and3) to understand how one relates perceptions to one's sense of ethnic identity.
In your learning cluster, pursue the following steps.
1. Identify your family origins as far back as you can tracespecific ancestors,
2. Why and how did your ancestors come to this country?Explore their motivations.
3. When your ancestors arrived here, how did their ethnicbackground influence how they were perceived and treated byothers? Describe both a disadvantage and an advantage yourancestors may have experienced because of their ethnicity.
4. Look at the ethnic advantages you listed. Name any specificprivileges, advantages, or family strengths that you or yourfamily members have enjoyed because of your family ethnicidentity.
5. In two sentences name your ethnic background and describeone personal benefit you think is important and you enjoy as aconsequence of that identity.

I. CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS
CUBA
In 1492, Christopher Columbus arrived on the island of Cuba while searching for ashorter route to India. He claimed the island for Spain. Migration from Spain soonfollowed in search of gold. Most of the settlers took up farming, growing sugar cane,tobacco and other crops.
H. AFRICAN ROOTS
By 1517, the Spaniards began to import African slaves due to the population declineof Native Indians caused by mistreated and diseases. In the late 1700's, Cuba beganto sell its sugar and tobacco crops to the British. These industries depended onhundreds of thousands of slaves. Between 1820 and 1865 African slave trade endedand the sugar revolution gave rise to a new class of rich landowners and slaveholders.Slavery ended in Cuba around 1886.
HI. SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR
Spain heavily taxed Cuba for its wars and explorations. Cuba struggled againstSpain's control. This was called the 1E11.YEAR NAIL Jose Marti, known as theLiberator of Cuba, led the revolution for independence in 1895.
By 1898, the United States was heavily involved in the war. Cuba's War of Inde-pendence became known as the Spanish-American War. On December 10, 1902,Cuba elected its first president, Thomas Estrada Palma.
Following this period, Cuba had many presidents -- Gerardo Machado, Ramon GrauSan Martin, Carlos Prio Socarras and Fulgencio I3atista.
IV. 1959 REVOLUTION
After years of Civil War, Fidel Castro took control of the government on January 1,1959. Castro nationalized all industries and established a Socialist State with diplo-matic to the Soviet Union. In 1961, the United States ended all diplomatic ties with
Cuba.
Since 1959, hundreds of thousands of Cubans have abandoned their homeland insearch of freedom. The U.S. has become the new home for the majority of these
refugees.

MULTICUTURAL TRAINING RECOMMENDATIONS:
Be aware of diverse learning styles.
Evaluate your own cultural biases, perceptions, and
misconceptions.
use family and community culture to enhance the performance of
every student.
More than knowing the characteristics of each culture, it isimportant that you are sensitive towards the impact of culture
on the school experience and to adjust the climate accordingly.
Every student brings something of value to the classroom; it isour job as teachers to recognize, support, and build on thosecontributions to ensure Success.
Use an outcomebased approach as you would with any other type
of teaching. What do we want to know at the end of the lesson?
Don't forget!! Academic Success with cultural respect!!
