Through extensive research on the barriers to assimilation for immigrants to the US, we discovered that language inhibited immigrants from comprehending both other people as well as American culture. Seeking to rectify this situation in some way, we sought to develop a volunteer opportunity for Loyola students to partner with a local prison facility, teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) classes with the educational instructor at that facility. Concurrently, we sought a way to impact not only the local non-English speaking population but a wider audience as well. To reach this goal we developed “Webisodes,” a series of short themed clips available online, that teach English as well as American culture to Spanish-speaking viewers. These webisodes discuss such topics as Miranda Rights, the American government, basic necessities, and important phrases to know. Through both the volunteer opportunity as well as the webisodes, we are able to positively affect both the local and international non-English speaking population before and after imprisonment. Additionally we are providing English tutoring to the general public through the use of the internet. This project has taught us the importance of communication and the positive impact made by not merely translating words but truly seeking to comprehend language, meaning and culture.
