Washington State Citizenship Services for Immigrants and Refugees

The Washington New Americans Program (WNA) connects immigrants and refugees in Washington State to the information and legal services needed to successfully naturalize and exercise their civic voice. In the interest of changing a flawed system, we also advocate to reduce the structural barriers that keep many from achieving U.S. citizenship.

WNA is a partnership between the State of Washington and OneAmerica, a non-profit advocacy organization dedicated to building power in immigrant and refugee communities. With the support of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and community organizations across Washington, we provide naturalization information and assistance with N-400 and I-912 forms. We organize approximately a dozen free citizenship application workshops around Washington State every year, and our affiliate organizations offer assistance in their offices year-round, by appointment.

About the Siteenglish-with-jennifer-blog

Welcome to my blog for English language teachers! My focus here is on methodology, strategies, and classroom activities. I offer ideas with the hope to facilitate a positive teaching experience for you and a successful learning outcome for your students. If even to a small degree I am able to encourage creativity, promote reflection, deepen your passion for teaching, and facilitate your students’ learning, then I will be extremely pleased.

We are fortunate to teach at this time, when online resources for our profession are plentiful, but in reality there is very little time to explore and examine them all. That said, I am genuinely appreciative every time a teacher visits my blog, and I thank you for your support of my efforts. I will do my best to offer ideas that have relevance, value, and immediate application to your teaching.

Lastly I express sincere gratitude to Pearson for making this blog possible. – Jennifer

Narrating, explaining, discussing, persuading, instructing – what humans do with language goes far beyond the mere exchange of information. Without language there would be no business or politics, religion or science, law or poetry. However, the phenomenon of language holds many mysteries: What is the origin of this uniquely human aptitude? How does our native language influence us, and which characteristics has language developed in the different corners of the world? An overview of some important language-related research is presented here.

If you really want to know something about a language, then the Language Log site is a great place to start your investigation!  If you can think of a topic related to language learning, teaching, or usage that it doesn’t cover, I would love to know what it is!  In fact, I challenge you to try to come up with a question it can’t answer.
