If anyone can help with the following, I'd appreciate it:
I hope to undertake very soon an in-house programme for clerical and
administrative workers in a large, successful law firm with a view to
helping them improve their written English. I have been following this
week's discussions about curriculum and materials development, assessment
and accountability with interest. One big difference, however, between my
prospective learners and most of yours, is that my learners are not exactly
non-native speakers of English. I live in the Caribbean and they are all
speakers of a range of English-lexicon Creoles! Does anyone know of any
useful materials or texts out there? I know that some US high schools make a
special effort to help Caribbean immigrants improve their standard English.
I have already purchased a couple of texts produced by the University of the
West Indies.
My second question is - what would be an appropriate billing rate?
Thank you for any help you can offer!
