Citizenship


Dear members,
Today through Friday, July 11, join the USCIS Office of Citizenship for a discussion on adult citizenship education and resources designed to help adult learners prepare for the naturalization interview and test. Promising practices from the field will also be highlighted.

Guest speaker Paul Kim of USCIS, and group moderator Miriam Burt, have jumpstarted the discussion with important questions including, “What do you think are the content knowledge and English language skills needed to prepare for naturalization? How would you teach those skills?” and “What are ways in addition to role plays to practice the language and content needed for the speaking test?”

Please join the Adult English Language Learners group to share your own comment on this discussion. You can set your desired email notification settings on the group's landing page, and leave the group after the event if you prefer.
We look forward to hearing from you in this discussion thread throughout the week!
The LINCS Community Team

VALF thought that our memebers would want to take advantage of this.  The announcement was posted n the LINCS blog.

Free Citizenship Resources for Libraries




The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has an agreement with IMLS to provide information and resources for legal immigrants seeking U.S. citizenship.  USCIS has created a special landing page on their Citizenship Resource Center for librarians: www.uscis.gov/citizenship/organizations/libraries.  Librarians can find information on establishing a citizenship corner at a library, a widget that can be added to a library’s website to direct patrons to USCIS resources, and information on upcoming webinars and training opportunities.  There is also a link where librarians can order a free copy of a Civics and Citizenship Toolkit, as well as posters and bookmarks.
