It's a 26-part television series with supporting print materials for low-beginning thru high-intermediate. The series was funded in part by the Departments of Education for the states of CA, FL, IL and NY. Other project partners included the US Department of Education and the US Department of Justice, Immigration and Naturalization. The series was produced jointly by INTELECOM (a non-profit corporation) and Heinle & Heinle Publishers/Thomson Learning. Several things about this series in the context of workplace...(a) the series revolves around a cast of recurring characters who work in a typical service industry setting, a restaurant; (b) the characters reflect the diversity found in the workplace; (c) many of the episodes lend themselves readily to workplace themes (e.g., episode 6.."Time is Money"); and (d) the series has been correlated to the Department of Labor SCANS competencies. It's not a V-ESL product, per se. However, the series makes a fine "jumping off" point for any V-ESL program. If you would like to receive a free preview kit, let us know and we'll get it out to you right away.
