Hello, all,

In considering a new project: working short-term ( once or twice a week for
1 hour for 6 weeks) with a group of 10-15 maintenance-level employees who
are largely Hispanic, and who have between no and very modest levels of
American English skills, are there any web sources that would be helpful and
that you might recommend.

The overarching goal of the project would be to provide primarily work and
also life "survival" language that will enable the participants to address
their work environment literacy requirements (conversation with tenants,
writing out work orders, reading basic information about their jobs, etc.)

I am almost overwhelmed by all of the resources available, and wonder if
someone can point me to something that is comprehensive, but fairly simple
in its orientation, with clear, simple, resources.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All best,

Judith Peyton Sinclair, PhD
