Subject: [Linganth] Request for readings: American citizenship test<br>

I am looking for advice on relevant readings.  I have a master’s student who is conducting research on the experiences of immigrants to the US who are eligible for citizenship.  She is examining why some apply for citizenship and some do not.  One potential deterrent is the need to pass the US Citizenship Test, which is in English.<br>
<br>
What background literature my student should read in linguistic anthropology, regarding issues of citizenship, language learning, language policy, and any other relevant topics?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!<br>
<br>
Peace,<br>
