Jennifer and others interested in the topic of ESOL for Healthcare Workers, here's information on publications from my colleague in NYC, Maria Luisa Casteneda,  who produced two texts you might find useful and how to order the same.

Intermediate Level
 
The 
How 
Are You Doing Today? ESL Series 
provides you with ready-to-use lessons in an easy-to-follow format. The 
ESL 
Student Book: Home Care Edition is intended 
particularly for home care workers with a basic knowledge of English. The 
ESL Student Book: Health Care 
Edition is for students who have an intermediate level of command of 
the English language. Both student books are also appropriate for any beginning 
to advanced learner since the health content provides a useful, real-life 
context for acquiring English. 
 
This series is 
driven by two goals: 1) to assist 
students in developing the language skills they need in health care settings, 
and 2) to build background knowledge in health topics for students who may 
eventually pursue a career in health care. 
 
The lessons in 
How Are You Doing Today? are 
arranged in thematic units related to health or health care, and can be taught 
in any order.  Each lesson contains materials for two three-hour sessions or 
more, and includes an illustration, pre-reading questions, a vocabulary list, a 
grammar point, dialogues or texts, practice exercises, a speaking activity and a 
writing topic.

Hello,
Does anyone know if any online links to "English for Caregivers" materials? I have a lot of ESOL students that are involved in this field and want to improve their English language skills.
 
Thank you!
