The Teaching Of Communications Skills In Relation To The Cultural Background Of Mexican Migrants, Irene Hlousek May 1969

The Teaching Of Communications Skills In Relation To The Cultural Background Of Mexican Migrants, Irene Hlousek

All Master's Theses

The purpose of this study was to objectively describe a method of teaching English communication skills to Spanish-speaking Mexican-migrant adults. A program of experiences was developed to teach communication skills to Mexican-migrant adults. An attempt was made to overcome the difficulties these adults face in learning a second language and to bring about the changes in attitude necessary for ready adaptation to the culture in which they now find themselves. The important factor in teaching communication skills is the building of an adequate English vocabulary.
