This training course provides everything you need to apply for United States citizenship and pass the interview and exam.
The training course has three parts: handbook, audio stories, and group discussion sessions. The handbook is the most complete part of the course. It is written for middle-level English speakers. It includes a CD with activities to practice for your interview and exam. Go to the Citizenship Training tab at left to view the handbook.
During the pilot phase of this project, audio stories or vignettes related to each chapter in the handbook aired on radio stations for 10 weeks in three Arkansas cities. People listened to the stories in these cities:
• KABF, FM 88.3 in the Little Rock area
• La Zeta, FM 95.7 in Northwest Arkansas
• La Raza, FM 92.3 in the Fort Smith area
You can listen to the audio stories on this website or you can ask your local radio station to air them. Please credit the University of Arkansas at Little Rock when airing by radio.
Many people prefer to learn in social groups. During our pilot program, individuals participated in group discussion sessions in Little Rock, Fort Smith, and Northwest Arkansas. You can use our lesson plan to lead a group discussion.
You can use this website to learn from home, as a supplement to ESL instructional materials, and in citizenship training classes. The website contains all the information you need; however you may find it easier and less expensive to order a book from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Go to the Order Books link at left to order your book. We also offer bulk rates.
