An issue that continues to be discussed is adoption of a national language in the United States. Many have argued that the United States of America should adopt English as a national language. Other argue that imposing a national language should encumber any other nationalities present and represented in the United states. After giving this issue some though write what you think the United States should do. You may also include the implication of your decision on schools, your workplace, other situations, or all of the above.

Adoption of English Language in America by Immigrants

Immigration into the United States has always been a cornerstone of society in America. Most of the population of the United States can trace their roots back to other countries around the world. There have been requirements about how to become a citizen and assimilate into life in the United States since the country’s inception. Part of this assimilation has traditionally included learning the English language as a part of adjusting to life in the United States. However, as more immigrants have come to the United States in increasing numbers, there have been large communities formed of immigrants who speak the same language and share the same culture. While this makes the United States a cultural melting pot, it makes it increasingly easier for people to continue to speak in their native languages rather than focus on learning the English language. This has changed the way that English is viewed in the United States.

Increasing numbers of immigrants continue to speak their native language rather than focusing on learning English. This is especially true with certain segments of the population such as older immigrants and some Spanish speaking immigrants (Espenshade, & Fu, 1997). This is increasingly possible because there are many more options available in the United States that allow Spanish speakers to continue to conduct business in their native language rather than in English. These options include Spanish language radio and television networks, Spanish language versions of forms and applications, and interpreters or bi-lingual employees in both work settings as well as schools. As the people of the United States design more ways to accommodate the non-English speaking population, the incentive to learn to speak English is decreased in some of the immigrant population.

However, while some immigrants determine that they are able to get through life in the United States fine without speaking English, others are determined to learn how to speak English. They are focused on being able to speak correctly as well. This has led to an increase in the amount of English Language Learner courses and teaching certifications that are available in the United States. Generally now as a part of any early childhood education program or teaching degree program available for future preschool and school teachers, there is at least one course required in teaching English Language Learners, also referred to as ELLs (English language training, 1995). These classes and coursework focus on teaching teachers to successfully be able to teach students who speak little or no English their general subjects in school as well as the basics of being able to speak English. These classes equip future teachers on how to deal with students and their families who may not speak English and how to create an environment that is conducive to being able to successfully learn English.

No one is saying that learning English is an easy task. The language is complex with many words that have more than one meaning, many words that are pronounced the same but spelled differently, letter combinations that create strange sounds, silent letters, and many words that are spelled the same and said differently. This can create a mine field for students who struggle to learn which “to” is the correct one in which sentence, whether it is “two”, “too”, or “to” that is called for to make the sentence correct. Another challenge with learning English is the array of slang words that are used both in various regions as well as across the country. These words, which younger students hear daily in school, are not in the dictionary or have a different meaning listed than their slang meaning. This creates a common problem of misunderstanding for students who are learning English as a second language.

The final challenge to teaching younger students how to speak English in school is that they can lose ground every night when they return home. Many times the student lives in a family where their parents and other siblings speak their native language while they are at home each night so the student is expected to as well. Without having that time available to practice their new skills with the people that they are the most comfortable with, learning English can be an uphill battle.

Many people complain in the media and among themselves that as Americans we make it too easy to live in the United States and not speak English. However, the adaptations that have been made were with the thought of making it possible for people to fill out forms and get assistance that they need when they have first arrived in the United States and not as a way to enable citizens to never learn to speak English. There are also many immigrants that are in the United States on a temporary basis, such as with a six month work visa or a two or three year student visa that allows them to take some classes or work for an amount of time while they are in the United States but then they must return to their home country. This makes some of the immigrants in this situation view learning English as a waste of their time since they are only here on a temporary basis. While many complain about the new rules of publishing forms and, in some states, road signs, in a language besides English, it would make the situation much safer if all motorists were able to read the signs in their native language. This is especially true of languages that have a high tourism rate in the United States or that see many new immigrants that speak that language. This is true with the Spanish speaking population in states such as Texas and California where there are many short term residents who speak Spanish but little English.

While it was not common fifty or more years ago to see concessions made to help immigrants who had not yet been able to master the English language, the population of immigrants was much less visible at that time. Today there are more radio and television networks as well as the internet so there is more visibility of immigrant populations and the help that they may need. It is important to realize that with the visibility that is available today, there are more people who are able to see and comment on the social issues that face them today than in years gone by.
