Paul,
Besides moderating this list, I am the coordinator/developer of the LINCS
Workforce Education Special Collection at http://worklink.coe.utk.edu/ and
am currently working on a crossover page between workforce and ESOL to put
up on the Workforce site. So I am looking for online resources that cross
over between workforce and ESOL to feature on that page.

If anyone on the list has resources to recommend that deal with ESOL in the
workplace, please let me know about them. I'll be very appreciative!
