Subject: Re: [Workplace] Workplace culture materials

Hi, everyone.  Our ESOL instructors have asked for a discussion of materials
that will prepare learners for the workplace, by discussing or presenting
American interviewing and workplace culture.  But, help!  My research has
led me to several older (1995 and later) items in ERIC, but no learner
materials or projects or whatever.  Is anyone using any texts or curricula
that focuses in on or includes this?  I thought I'd find some ESOL websites
that would be helpful, but my searching genie has left me high and dry.
Specific items that have been mentioned by instructors are: use of small
talk, asking clarifying questions, body language and gestures, appropriate
attire.
Thanks for the assist!
