In the northern settlements, conditions socially and intellectually were very different from those existing in the South. The men who colonized New England represented a unique type; their ideals, their purpose, were essentially other than those which inspired the settlers at Jamestown and the later colonizers of Virginia. The band of Pilgrims who landed from the Mayflower at Plymouth in December, 1620, were not bent on mere commercial adventure, lured to the shores of the New World by tales of its fabulous wealth. They were not in search of gold; they were looking for a permanent home, and had brought their wives and children with them. Their ideals were of the most serious sort; their deep religious feeling colored all their plans and habits of life. The Pilgrims.

Extractions: Karen's Linguistics Issues This Month's Articles Previous Months Send Email Presenting American Culture to Students of English: Thanksgiving Day by Dr Antonio R. Roldán Tapia Alhaken II High School / University of Córdoba, Spain , December 2001 INTRODUCTION Teaching and learning English in many European countries means having a British-centred view of the language, its speakers and their culture(s). It is something to be expected because of the short distance between the UK and the continent, and because of the influence of publishers based in Britain. I do not want to say that this is wrong, but it gives students a restricted knowledge of the language and its culture. By taking a look at popular textbooks, it can be noted that students can only find a little information about the States, like the American flag, a picture of the White House and something else....hamburgers and cola. The purpose of this article is to share how other native speakers cultures can be learnt at school, independently of the textbook we are using. Because of my personal and professional experience, I have tried to teach my students about the USA and American culture.

Extractions: PROBLEM: 1. For the ZIP code of your official address (the one on file with the registrar), determine the ethnic composition of the population in this area based on 1990 census data. Write a short paragraph providing both absolute numbers (counts) and shares (percentages). As an example, we will consider the area defined by zip code 10011 which covers the northern part of Greenwich Village (north of W4 street and Greenwich Ave, west of Fifth Avenue) and Chelsea (mostly south of 24th Street). For technical details of retrieving relevant data see the "summary of week2" The data sets offer two different ethnic breakdowns of the total population, one strictly by race (as defined by the US Census) into whites (W90), blacks (B90), native Americans (I90), Asians (A90), and others (O90) variable names are given in parentheses. A separate questions in the Census form establishes whether or not a person considers him/herself as Hispanic. Combining the responses, the total population is also broken down into non-Hispanic whites (NHW90), non-Hispanic blacks (NHB90), non-Hispanic native Americans (NHI90), non-Hispanic Asians (NHA90), and non-Hispanic others (NHO90) plus Hispanics (H90). In addition, Hispanics are broken down further specifying the number of Puerto-Ricans (PR90) and Dominicans (DMN90) among them. Obviously, not all numbers should be used. Rather, the report should focus on the largest groups in the zip code area. The percentages can either be calculated by hand (desk calculator) based on total population (POP90) or also be found with the help of the computer. Though not mentioned in the written documentation, the files do contain variables showing the percentages (NHW90P, NHB90P, H90P, NHA90P) a reward for the curious and searching minds. Alternatively, students could have computed these variables themselves (but were not expected to do so). Time to summarize:

In the novels of authors such as Naomi Shihab Nye, Walter Dean Myers, and Lois Ann Yamanaka, traditional Adolescent Literature motifs of identity formation and sexual awakening are linked to issues of race, nationality, and social justice, enabling young readers to acknowledge the complexity of the coming of age experience in the United States and abroad.

Extractions: Elaine Maimon et al., Writing in the Arts and Sciences If our teaching purposes do not extend beyond the utilitarian, we have no pressing reason for raising such questions. In fact, some utility-oriented writing teachers seem bent on turning students away from larger issues. This is most notable among those who see writing as problem solving, where the requirement for a specific, "operational" solution tends to keep in line students interested in social criticism. If a student writer asks, "What can be done about our oppressive administration?" the question would be too vague and emotion-laden, according to Young, Becker, and Pike's Rhetoric: Discovery and Change.
