A practical, student‑friendly course of study for adults pursuing citizenship.
This nonfiction syllabus is designed for evening‑school immigrants learning English and the basics of U.S. government. It divides civics and naturalization into three parts—beginner, advanced, and a naturalization focus—so teachers can tailor lessons to each group’s language skills and goals. The material blends language learning with citizenship skills, emphasizing real‑world applications and community participation.
- A clear three‑part structure: beginner English students; those with more language ability; and naturalization applicants in specialized classes.
- Hands‑on activities and concrete forms, from writing letters and filing papers to visiting local institutions.
- A wide set of teaching methods and classroom tools, including recitation, map study, blackboard outlines, and guided community visits.
- Guidance for teachers on building practical citizenship, from understanding local services to participating in civic life and the naturalization process.
Ideal for: instructors and program coordinators in adult education, evening schools, and community centers who want a ready framework to teach language, civics, and naturalization together.
