Teaching Immigration in the Classroom - an American Experience!

Abstract

The topic of immigration has become a controversial subject across Europe like that in the United States. Immigrants have become the target of many negative feelings among certain sections of the population both in Europe and America. These feelings also affect children in the school settings and therefore, impact their learning directly or indirectly. This study shares an American experience of college faculty who have successfully implemented strategies to teach immigration in the classroom in a positive manner.
