We have a training materials that are currently in use at hospitals and hotels.

Thanks,

Does anyone on this helpful listserv know of training materials targeted at front-line supervisors in organizations with a high level of LEP workers? I'm looking for training materials that are more tactical than generic diversity training -- and that would complement a workplace ESL program.

This would include things such as:
- Teach supervisors that LEP workers often don't use the the little English they know, not because they don't want to, but because they're afraid/intimidated.
- Although workers may nod or say "yes," it does not always mean they understand.
- Show supervisors ways to encourage workers use their English (e.g. ask LEP workers to repeat instructions, give instructions, or answer the phone).

Thank you very much.
