Abstract
Influenced by the Iserian reading stages and the effects that it might have on ESOL learners’ reading and writing skills, and the exploration of religion in multiculturalism, the present research is set to navigate this less-navigated topic in multiculturalism. ESOL learners, as part and parcel of the American composition classroom, come from different spiritual backgrounds and divergent reading and writing skills. Our major task, as teachers in the pluralistic society, should be to maintain an inclusive environment for the less-represented population and the dominant equally. This research explores the effects of the Iserian reading theory and the TOL technique on ESOL learners’ writing and reading skills. In this study, the themes chosen for the students are based on religion in multiculturalism. Since this research paper is still not implemented, I played the role of a student answering some of the activities. The answers showed the significant impact that this collection of units had on me as an ESOL learner and a multilingual. It further suggests some recommendations for teachers aspiring to tackle this facet of inclusion and teaching composition.
