ABSTRACT
This volume, part of a series of eight curriculum
guides compiled by the Colorado Workplace Learning Initiative:
1991-92, contains two courses: workplace literacy for limited English
proficient (LEP) persons and a General Educational Development
Programs (GED)/English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) tutorial with the
Adult Literacy Network (ALN), a network of volunteer tutors.
Introductory materials include a list of topics covered by all eight
curriculum guides. The first course in this volume contains the
following sections: Overview--objectives, time frame, and materials;
Getting Started/Program Implementation--marketing, the workplace
environment, supervisor-employee relationship, the classroom, pre-
and posttesting, and evaluation; Activities (14 of these are
described); and Resources (21 are listed). For the second course,
called "It's Never Too Late To Improve Your English" the following
information is provided: background, objectives, time, materials
needed, and process; student application; workshop goals; workshop
schedule; volunteer application; tests used by ALN; ALN's list of
program materials--reading texts, spelling books, grammar books,
writing books, mathematics books, and GED preparation materials.

OVERVIEW
It is no secret that effective communication in the workplace contributes to
an employee's job success.
For those employees who are non-native English
speakers, effective communication is even more crucial -- not only for the
individual's and the company's success, but also for the nation's.
By
identifying the necessary skills that the limited English proficient employee
requires to perform his or her job effectively, and by providing on-site
educational training to meet those needs, organizations can profit more fully
-- both in terms of producing more revenue, and competing globally with a
stronger, more competent workforce.
Objective
The objective of this training module is to provide the instructor(s) with
for establishing an individual LEP workplace
practical
ideas
program.
Although the module explains methods and procedures used specifically in a
factory setting at AT&T, it is assumed, however, that the instructor(s) will
incorporate her own ideas and adapt them to the needs of the organization
with which she's working.
The objective of this LEP English Skills class for the workplace is to enable
the employee to become more proficient in the following areas:
Pronunciation
Grammar
Idioms/slang
Culture of the
American workplace
Time Frame
The lessons covered in this program are modular formatted, with individual
modules extending six to nine weeks.
Actual module length varies, depending
on the time of year (attendance decreases during the summer months).
Classes
run twice weekly
-- four hours of instruction total.
