English as a Second Language

English as a Second Language

We know that immigration implies the movement of people into another nation with the intention of residing there permanently. Along with this definition we should take into account that immigrants have high expectation for the new way of life they would lead. They would attempt to get a better job, a better lifestyle, and also they would try to get academic education. However, in their new way of life they would be exposed to unexpected situations that would make them feel unable and confused so as to understand their position as immigrants. These circumstances are clearly visible in the story “English as a Second Language” by Lucy Hoing. Throughout the short story Maria seems to go through different stages that lead her from her initial inability to understand her situation in the U.S., to her final awareness of where most of her difficulties would lie as an immigrant.

At first, Maria was not able to understand her position in the U.S.A. As she did not realise her situation as an immigrant, Maria dreamt about the possibility of being part of an American T.V. show. She imagined herself kissing and hugging her children on T.V. as all the Americans families
