- Title
Challenges Facing Immigrant Students Beyond the Linguistic Domain in a New Gateway State.

- Abstract
Although there is a great deal of theoretical and practical scholarship related to immigrant students, the extant literature most often conflates the needs of English language learners with the needs of immigrant students (Goodwin in Educ Urb Soc 34(2):156-172, ; Sox in Theory Pract 48:312-318, ; Yoon in Am Educ Res J 49(5):971-1002, ). Findings from this study indicate that teachers in an area with a rapidly rising immigrant population perceived immigrant students to face four significant challenges beyond linguistic considerations. By analyzing interview and focus group data from six high school Civics teachers, this qualitative collective case study is positioned to make recommendations for teachers and teacher educators by bringing attention to the challenges facing immigrant students beyond the linguistic domain in a new gateway state.
