The two colleges I teach at both use the StandOut series by Staci Lyn Sabbagh and Rob Jenkins,
published by Thomson/Heinle.  There is a unit in all four levels of the text that address health issues.  The series also has a test bank that provides ESOL assessment support.  I usually augment the class with a visit from an RN who shares how to plan for doctor visits and so they get the most out of the trip to the Dr., and articles I've gathered over the years.  I often have a CPR trainer come and train and certify the students.

Subject: [HealthLiteracy 1637] ESOL Health Literacy Curricula - what'salready out there? What went well and what didn't?



Hello!

Has anyone worked with specific ESOL Health Literacy Curricula available out there? We are looking for:

-resources currently available

-anecdotal feedback from teachers and/or students about the "health literacy for ESOL students" topic

-examples of evaluation forms and pre-/post- knowledge assessment questionnaires for such curricula

Any help will be appreciated... Thanks!
