Abstract

First-Generation (FG) African Americans enrolled in English language education programs, such as Teaching English as a Second Language, requires further exploration. This article raises awareness to challenges but also explores support systems that may be recognized as recruitment strategies and retention measures for leaders who are under-prepared to support FG African Americans in the English language education profession.
