\nCitizenship foundation skills and knowledge clusters help link what students learn on their own or in the adult education classroom with the knowledge and skills they will need to be successful during the naturalization interview and test.  \nFoundation skills are those overarching skills that facilitate the learning of other content areas. In this case, those skills are speaking, reading, and writing English along with locating and using information needed for the naturalization test.  \nCitizenship knowledge clusters are the specific content areas that applicants need to increase their chances of success during the naturalization interview and test. These knowledge  \nclusters provide  \nteachers with a context for instruction and a framework for organizing citizenship curriculum. The Office of Citizenship, within U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), provides these skills and clusters to serve as a general framework for adult education program administrators and teachers, as well as for organizations interested in starting their own citizenship programs. Visit  \n[www.uscis.gov/citizenship to view other](www.uscis.gov/citizenship to view other) citizenship resources, including information about the naturalization process and test.  \nFor adult education administrators and organizations starting new citizenship programs, the citizenship foundation skills and knowledge clusters maybe used to develop or enhance a comprehensive citizenship program  . For teachers, the citizenship foundation skills and knowledge clusters may be used to develop curricula, lesson plans, instructional approaches, and other classroom materials  . They may also be used to help teachers identify training opportunities to ensure they possess the skills and knowledge necessary to be effective in the citizenship classroom  .  \nFOUNDATION SKILL 1  \nKnowledge and Understanding of the English Language  \nEnglish language is integral to all skills and knowledge needed for the naturalization interview . Building the necessary vocabulary is a good place to begin regardless of a student’s language level  . The vocabulary required for the listening and speaking test includes basic conversation words, general commands, and language found on the Application","cbCaisk0yT7OfE8Y","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisk0yT7OfE8Y","pdf",1014162,16,"English","# Citizenship Foundation Skills and Knowledge Clusters\n## Foundation Skill 1: Knowledge and Understanding of the English Language\n## Foundation Skill 2: Information and Resources\n## Knowledge Cluster 1: The Naturalization Process\n## Knowledge Cluster 2: American History\n## Knowledge Cluster 3: American Government\n## Knowledge Cluster 4: Integrated Civics\n## USCIS Resources","[{\"question\":\"What do citizenship foundation skills and knowledge clusters support?\",\"answer\":\"They connect what learners study in their own time or in adult education with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the naturalization interview and test.\"},{\"question\":\"Which four English language areas are included in Foundation Skill 1?\",\"answer\":\"Listening, speaking, reading, and writing are the four focus areas for the English language foundation skill.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Foundation Skill 2 focus on for applicants?\",\"answer\":\"It emphasizes locating information and resources needed to determine eligibility, find appropriate application forms, and prepare for the naturalization interview.\"}]","Citizenship Foundation Skills and Knowledge Clusters - Overview Chart - Integrated Civics | PDF",1790596598]
