Hello.
I will soon be presenting a workshop on health literacy concerns of adult 
immigrants and their families to an audience of public health workers, 
medical school faculty, and adult educators.  I would like to share with 
them stories from ESL classes about learners' health and health care 
experiences and concerns.  I'm not currently in the classroom --- I would 
love to hear from teachers who are.  Does anyone have any stories from 
learners about health issues that they would like to share?  Or 
health-related learning activities that were particularly well-received by 
learners?

Also, I would love to hear feedback from folks who have used some web-based 
materials I've made:  Picture Stories for Adult ESL Health Literacy and the 
Fairfax County, VA, EL/Civics Curriculum health materials.  If you have used 
them and would like to share your comments, would you please write to me 
off-list at katesingleton@cox.net?

Thanks very much.
