Our primary audience remains newcomers to the United States – recent and not-so-recent immigrants – who may be studying at an American high school, adult school, community college, or university. The authors strongly believe that all immigrants deserve a quality education that allows them to express themselves, develop their English language skills, and deepen their critical thinking skills. From our perspective, too many language programs too often teach students to mostly listen and seldom speak – and often underestimate the academic and professional abilities of many American immigrants. Students should be able to not only listen and understand, but speak and be understood.

Therefore, Chimayo Press raises expectations for verbal skills by providing more authentic materials and topics to the intermediate and advanced English language classrooms – both in the United States and abroad. We also believe that holding meaningful conversations in English adds to the quality of life across globe. That’s why we deliberately choose to emphasize speaking skills and fluency in all of our books, especially in the Compelling Conversations series.

By promoting a more open, communicative approach to English language teaching, we hope to bring more people together, across the globe, in quality conversation. Ask more, know more share more – and create compelling conversations!
