Thanks, Beverly -- and everyone who has answered my questions.
I've been teaching "Calling " for years (even before we had 9-1-1 in Wis.), 
but some of my new refugees seem to need more than pictures & dialogue 
practice.  If San Diego County still has this video available, I'll post the 
info. here.

There is a video called "Getting Help Fast! 911 Emergencies" that was
put out in 1992 by the Laubach Literacy Council of San Diego County,
produced by the Laubach Telecommunications Project. The back of the box
says ICT Video Productions, 345 First St., Suite Q, Encinitas, CA 92024,
and the phone is 619-942-3816.

Goodness only knows whether you can contact any of these groups, but you
might try READ/San Diego or ProLiteracy headquarters.

The film is about 12 minutes long, and I haven't viewed it so I don't
know how dated it is.

Colleagues:  could anyone recommend a book(s) of Idioms for use with my
High Beginner - Intermediate students?  Every publisher has several, but
which are better - worth our scarce grant dollars?

Also, does anyone know of a source for an video on "Calling 9-1-1"?  I
attempted an on-line search, but found nothing.  Any ideas?  If there
isn't such a video out there, there certainly should be!

Thanks,
