But if someone wants to pursue it, having access to these models would be a terrific service to those of us working in the field. The Carpenters Union in Las Vegas has a program for teaching Vocational English to immigrant workers that I think has a bilingual component. IUOE Local 99 in Washington DC has a bilingual training component. The Milwaukee HIRE program does bilingual machine tool training. You may find that some of these programs actually teach in the native language and use supplementary instruction in Vocational English. The AFL-CIO Working for America Institute, which I work for, will soon be doing some research on promising practices in occupational training for LEP workers. So, We'd be interested in learning what you find in the way of education and training materials and where they come from. Laura Chenven
