X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-type: text/plain; Status: O Content-Length: 3594 Lines: 113 Next week, the Texas Workforce Commission will be hosting a workforce forum on services to adults with limited English proficiency. Handouts will be posted to the agency¹s web site after the forum, but look for a set of handouts on ³Bilingual Preferred² (www.twc.state.tx.us/upcoming events). Dr. Calderon was affiliated with Johns Hopkins University and has published a curriculum for teachers in teaching English with native language support. I don¹t believe the curriculum is posted publicly, but it was developed under a grant from the Dallas Regional Office of the Employment and Training Administration (DOL). Finally, NABE has state level affiliates: if you were in Texas, you¹d link to www.tabe.org. TABE is a very large organization, as one might well imagine. Good luck on your search for resources.
