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!
