To the Group,

I need a little help.

I am going to have a meeting with managers at one of the companies I teach at.  They don't think the ESL program benefits the company, although there are people who can see the students making progress.

If anyone has information on how ESL programs benefit companies, their bottom line, productivity, etc. I would be grateful for the assistance.
