Leonard, I can refer you to a few resources available to you online.
They represent the Texas perspective as well as some of the work I've
done in other states.  Just good foundation information that might prove
useful:  

 

http://www-tcall.tamu.edu <http://www-tcall.tamu.edu/>  is maintained by
our state clearinghouse for Adult Education.  If you click on workforce
partnerships, you can access 

*       SHOP TALK, a series of short articles on workforce education
issues;  

*       Charting A Course:  Responding to the Industry-Related
Instructional Needs of the Limited English Proficient.  

*       Another resource accessible from this same website will link you
to TWC Workforce Literacy; under research you will find a field guide
entitled Planning Literacy and Language Services for Texas' Limited
English Proficient Worker:  The Devil is in the Details.  

 

http://cls.coe.utk.edu/curriculum/esol_workplace.html. The University of
Tennesee's Center for Literacy Studies also has its Tennessee ESOL in
the Workplace training materials on line.

 

Also, Joan Friedenberg put out a great little "primer" a few years ago
entitled, Workplace ESL:  A Guide to Program Planning and
Implementation.  Hard to find and no intent to reprint.  Excellent desk
reference.  

 

Hope these help!  Barbara Tondre-El Zorkani

Hi Leonard,

I do a train the trainer workplace ESL certification that has all those
things you mentioned detailed in it.  I'd be happy to chat with you to
find out exactly what you are looking for and could forward you those
slides from my PowerPoint presentation.  I could also add detailed
information about the slides you are interested in :)  I am going out of
town Friday morning, but if you email it to me tomorrow (Thursday) with
specific questions and needed information, I can get you something
before I leave.

Hello to All List Members,

 

I am new to the list and have been charged with writing a pilot proposal
to begin offering Literacy Services, mainly ESL, on site with many of
the employers we currently work with here in NYC.  I am certainly glad
to see that this is a discussion that has been on the minds of many of
you on the list serve but, I would love to know if anyone on the list
has a model that is currently working that they would be willing to
share with me as I begin to work on this issue.  If there is such a
document of even bulleted pointers about implementation, service models,
employer buy-in and investment, curriculum development, etc that would
be most appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Leonard E. Battle
