I have posted this information to the list before 
if you are looking for teaching materials have a look at the Embedded Learning Materials from the UK - all downloadable and reflect the fact that a lot of money was spent on them

Yes, VESL brings up a gazillion hits.  And there are a gazillion definitions of VESL.

My interest is in hard skill training for NNS (health care, culinary arts, building trades), where the goal is technical skill acquisition and upward ladder job placement and retention.  This would likely require interagency and interdisciplinary partnerships between ESL and Vocational agencies and instructors.

IBEST in WA is one model I'm learning about ...

	I would be very much interested in this as well.  Googling "VESL" brings up some.

		Dear Colleagues,
		
		Is there a centralized database of programs that offer concurrent vocational 
		and language skills training for non-native speakers of English?
		
		Thanks!
