    Re: ESL Poem needed
    Posted by: esl teacher on 10/04/09

    Julia Alvarez has a very short story called Names/Nombres.
    It's been a long time since I read it but it talks about
    identity and how the teacher pronounces the narrator's name
    differently than how her family pronounces it. It is very
    good. I couldn't find it on the web but you could find it in
    an anthology in the library.

    Richard Rodriguez is another author who writes about growing
    up Hispanic in the US and learning English. You could find a
    good excerpt from him, too.

    Do you have access to any textbooks for ESL students? They
    often have this type of poetry and writing.
