I would second the request for books/material/and other ideas to work
with students who speak forms of Engllish that are non-standard from a
North American English point of view.  Other examples are students from
Liberia and other parts of Africa.
Thanks

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
