1According to the 2000 US Census, 39 percent of people who live in California do not speak English at home. In Las Casas, a city in southern California, 79 percent of speak little or no English at home or at work. To combat this problem, Las Casas is a program called Love My English. Program funding will come from government grants and corporate donations.
The program has two goals. One is to improve residents English so that they can get better jobs. The other is to provide more qualified workers for throughout the county.
We are desperate for good workers who speak English, said Sydney Rove of Containers, Ltd. We have truck routes for good drivers, and we need salespeople in almost every state.
We want everyone in Las Casas to speak English, said Ivan Libby, of the school district. They don t have to speak fluent English, of course, just survival English how to give and get , order food, visit the doctor, read labels on food and medicines the basic stuff. Once they re able to read and write more English, they ll be able to get better work and they ll be more confident. We hope this confidence will inspire some of them to go on to get their high school diploma and perhaps even get a degree from a community college or a .
Currently, most Las Casas qualify for only low paying jobs. In fact, the pay is often so low that residents need to work two jobs to make ends meet. This program will help them get better paying jobs not only in California but also nationwide. The district will mount a huge campaign to alert residents to the free program. Love My English will be offered at sites and times to reach as many residents as possible.
