Subject: [EnglishLanguage 683] materials for Eng Creole-spkrs/going rate
forin-house programmes

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!
Marian Cazabon-Blok
