New Report—Words Have No Borders: Student Voices on Immigration, Language and Culture

Words Have No Borders: Student Voices on Immigration, Language and Culture is the second of a three-part series celebrating the power of writing. It contains personal letters and reflections from high school students on language learning and immigrant experiences, with a special focus on how learning to write and learning to write in English opens up new worlds for the country’s growing population of non-native speakers. Representing more than a dozen different countries, the students describe the challenges they face as they learn to navigate a new culture and their dreams for the future. The report also features a foreword by celebrated Haitian-American author Edwidge Danticat.
