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.
