      abstract = {The COVID-19 pandemic has been an unprecedented worldwide  phenomenon that has impacted virtually every aspect of life  with certain populations experiencing the brunt more than  others. Many immigrant Latine English as a second language  (ESL) adult learners have had to grapple with a variety of  historical and novel challenges regarding stress, health,  immigration, employment, and education. This mixed-methods  research study aimed to better understand the effects of  the COVID-19 pandemic on a group of immigrant Latine ESL  adult learners in Philadelphia and the forms of capital  they possess that help them obtain resources, navigate  through challenging events, and mitigate damages.  Thirty-six participants (18 to 50+ years; 63.89% female)  participated in a survey that addressed stress level,  learning of English, employment, health, and community  cultural wealth. Quantitative analyses revealed that the  pandemic had a negative impact on employment and the  contraction of COVID-19 and that the sample possessed all  forms of capital under investigation. Qualitative analyses  revealed that the pandemic had a negative impact on family,  finances/unemployment, health, learning of English,  friends, immigration, isolation, and uncertainty about the  future.},
