English instruction touted for immigrants
Spending on English instruction must be quadrupled to more than $4 billion a year for the next six years to make legal and illegal adult immigrants proficient in skills crucial to their assimilation and the economic future of a country whose population is increasingly foreign-born, a new national report says.
Federal and state governments currently spend about $1 billion a year on English as a Second Language instruction for adults, most of which comes from the states.
