For many immigrant students like Tang, who studies at the City Colleges of Chicago\u2019s Truman College, additional hurdles have made the novel experience even more challenging. Many students have had to take on additional work hours to support their families, all while struggling with technology problems and speaking limited English.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImmigrants often encounter new institutions they have to navigate, which generally presents challenges if they do not know where or how to access resources, especially if they are not English-dominant,\u201d said Sophia Rodriguez, a former Chicago ESL teacher who currently teaches at the University of Maryland\u2019s Teaching, Learning, Policy and Development Department. \u201cNow there is a pandemic, which is challenging [already] for those with resources, knowledge of institutions, and privilege.

But many continue to rely on the Adult Education Program, which includes non-credit ESL classes, GED courses and citizenship preparation classes. According to CCC student trustee Imran Mohammad Fazal Hoque, about 90 percent of students in the program are immigrants who are very new to the country and can\u2019t speak English.<\/p>\n<p>ESL classes at Truman are free to all students and include a final transitional course that\u2019s meant to prepare students to begin taking credit classes toward their college education. CCC also works with immigrant-serving institutions to provide resources and scholarships to immigrants like DACA recipients who may not have access to traditional financial aid.<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020, CCC <a href=\"https:\/\/news.ccc.edu\/2020\/04\/06\/city-colleges-of-chicago-transitions-to-remote-learning-redoubles-efforts-to-support-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">moved the bulk of its classes online<\/a>. These included ESL classes, whose students \u201cfound themselves pivoting to virtual learning while simultaneously navigating heightened concerns about their employment, health, and housing,\u201d a CCC spokesperson told Borderless Magazine in an email. To ease the transition, the school provided students with \u201cloaned technology, tech support, wellness centers for social\/emotional support, tutoring and more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For many immigrant students, community college courses are about more than learning; they are places to build community and gain support. In middle and high schools, immigrant youth could expect to build a network of trusted adults, Rodriguez said. But once they turn 18, finding and maintaining that support can be challenging.<\/p>\n<p>In this new environment, ESL programs like those at CCC can also have a substantial impact on students\u2019 sense of social belonging.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat can be really powerful because likely they encounter similar barriers and challenges,\u201d said Rodriguez. \u201cIn those spaces where they can come together to support \u2014 whether that&#8217;s in an ESL classroom or a potluck run by one of those offices at the city college or university \u2014 they can meet each other and sort of be resources to each other and knowledge-share.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The loss of that physical space to a virtual world of learning during the pandemic, she added, has been

in CCC\u2019s Adult Learning program went virtual last year, many immigrant adult learners didn\u2019t know how to use or even access their email, said Hoque, who works closely with immigrant students in his role as trustee and is a refugee himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause things changed so quickly, they didn&#8217;t know how to use their emails [and] it was the only way for them to communicate with

They just didn&#8217;t know how to do it. They were just not prepared.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tang recalled having trouble logging into her Zoom account. Every time she tried to log in, she received an error message saying her password was incorrect. With some help from her son, who had used Zoom in his online middle school classes, she was able to retrieve her password and sign into her class. She had received her free loaner Chromebook from CCC without any complications, but she said some of her friends in the ESL program never got their laptops because they were lost in the mail.<\/p>\n<p>Tang, who speaks Vietnamese, Cantonese and Mandarin, completed high school and received a bachelor&#8217;s degree in accounting in Vietnam. She was eager to start learning English and to take \u201cEnglish as a fourth language classes,\u201d as she calls them. She enrolled at CCC\u2019s Truman in 2016, a year after immigrating to the U.S. At the time, she worked part-time at a nail salon.<\/p>\n<p>During the pandemic, to make ends meet, she also started working as a caretaker for an elderly lady in Evanston through a homecare program at the Vietnamese Association of Illinois. One benefit of online coursework is that it allows her to continue with her new work schedule.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI need to go to work,\u201d said Tang. \u201c[With online classes], you can do something at home or you can take care of your children.

And if the professor was helping someone else, she would often work out problems and questions with other students. The biggest drawback for her, though, is the limited participation she has in the online setting.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Small, the adult literacy coordinator at VAI, said he\u2019s not surprised to hear that limited participation is a problem in a class of twenty-plus students.<\/p>\n<p>Small, who teaches a remote English class that Tang attends in the evenings on top of her Truman course, said that VAI\u2019s English learning classes tend to be small, with enrollment ranging from three to five students. VAI follows a model of student-centered instruction, he added, where the actions and participation of students, not the instructor\u2019s, are the focus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA student-centered class with like 20 or 30 people is doable in person,\u201d Small said. \u201cIt is very, very difficult to do online.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The nature of English language classes often requires tactile and interactive instruction, both of which do not bode well in virtual spaces. Additionally, said Rodriguez, language is learned in context, both in and beyond the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo their context [now] is their bedroom, where they&#8217;re not interacting with people. They&#8217;re not going to the grocery store, they&#8217;re not getting gas with their parents,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cThey&#8217;re not having the sort of everyday experiences that help them integrate and belong into the local community or the culture. That is terrible.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<h3 id=\"student-led-solutions\">Student-led Solutions<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<p>As the pandemic and virtual classes have stretched on for 21 months now, community college students are finding ways to adjust and connect in the virtual environment.<\/p>\n<p>CCC instructors and staff have stepped in to help ESL students, going so far as to call students to make sure that they were able to log into their classes, a CCC representative told Borderless Magazine in a statement. City Colleges also continue to loan out laptops to students in good standing for 60 days at a time so they can complete their coursework.

He taught himself to read and write English during his second year of detention. In 2018, he immigrated to the United States and later enrolled in CCC\u2019s Adult Education program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had to start from scratch,\u201d said Hoque. \u201cI got my high school [equivalency] diploma from the department and then I transitioned to college.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 27-year-old student trustee now studies part-time at CCC and is set to graduate next semester with an associates degree. He also serves as the president of Truman College\u2019s Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, the official honor society for two-year colleges in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing the need for more support for immigrant students like himself during the pandemic, Hoque organized Phi Theta Kappa to start providing services for immigrants. The society now helps immigrant students access their online classes and understand how to use their email to communicate with their professors. It also provides virtual drop-in mentoring services and hosts networking events and scholarship workshops.<\/p>\n<p>While not the same as in-person learning or events, the efforts speak to the reality that the COVID-19 pandemic and online learning will not end anytime soon. And with that, immigrant students will need to find ways to overcome many of the challenges the pandemic laid bare.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInitially, it was really hard because we didn&#8217;t know how things would work,\u201d said Hoque. \u201cBut \u2026 our past previous normal is not normal anymore.
