Three Common Errors That Prevent Bilingual Students from Achieving a Higher Education
It is a tantalizing job to prepare bilingual students for the English Regents Examination and the College Writing Test when they only have the equivalent English proficiency level of a 4th grade elementary student. Author Peter Sun Ho Lee has been teaching English as a second language to high school students and college freshmen for over 25 years. Sun Ho Lee was presented the “Par-Excellence” award from the Lower Eastside Preparatory High school by the New York City Board of Education in 2004 for his outstanding reputation in teaching English as a second language.

“The key to teaching bilingual students is pointing out the eight parts of English and understanding how difficult English is to learn,” said Sun Ho Lee. “I’ve been in the shoes of my students and this firsthand experience has helped me create exercises and lessons that effectively teach my students. I’ve compiled my method of teaching into my book, Higher Standard Writing in English.”
Higher Standard Writing in English prepares students whose native tongue is not English for the English Regents Examination and the College Writing Test. The key to Sun Ho LeeÂ’s study guide is accredited to its structure that is simple and direct, which is easier for bilingual students to follow and understand. Higher Standard Writing in English has Chinese character interpretation, found in the vocabulary section of every chapter, which is tailored towards Chinese immigrants. Sun Ho Lee uncovers the three common structural mistakes that bilingual students make in the essay portion of these two tests, which prevent them from passing.
Bilingual students who recognize the standard and command writing skills used in the English language are able to express and communicate at a much higher level. Students who lack this knowledge could be held back from achieving a higher level of education and living the “American Dream”.
