Welcome to America!

Welcome to America! is a book designed to facilitate the process of integration into the American society of all non-native speakers who left cultural values behind and rooted themselves into new fresh soil. Based on my keen observations and from my perspective as both an immigrant and a college/university English professor, this book is intended to illustrate the cultural differences and the many difficulties newcomers encounter within their adjustment into the new country. The eight chapters presented in this book focus on exploring strategies and techniques in how to overcome cultural and language barriers, as well as provide useful approaches on how to successfully function in the new society. Some of the topics presented in this book are Setting Goals - Preparedness - How to Overcome Culture Shock - How to Function in the New Society - American Customs and Manners - Laws - Communication-The Key to Success - Job Search - Networking - How to Get a Job - How to Fill Out a Job Application - How to Write a Resume - Interviewing - Safety in the Workplace - The Newfound Freedom - Individualized Adult Case Studies - A Practical Guide to Life Survival Skills differentiated by age groups, and many more. Simple, structured, and to the point, this book is an excellent tool not only for immigrants and refugees, but also for all the teachers, instructors, and specialists who work with a diverse student population in a multicultural setting.Gorea, Lucia is the author of 'Welcome to America!' with ISBN 9781418487171 and ISBN 1418487171.
