(The Welcome video that she mentions is the State Department funded video produced by my office for U.S.-bound refugees. It can be ordered at calstore.cal.org.) Her response is below: "These were literacy materials that IRC used, however the video is the Welcome Guide video, as there were no videos used for literacy purposes. The books were: Literacy Plus. Language, Lifeskills, Civics. (for preliterate adults) by Joan Saslow, and the publisher is Longman. I first learned about this series at TESOL and managed to get a number of free copies from them which were subsequently used (worksheets copied) by the IRC literacy instructors. I think they are an excellent tool. Hope this is helpful." Also please note that if you are a teacher who works directly with refugees, you can join our listserv, Refugee Discussion, an electronic forum for refugee service providers in the U.S. and abroad. You can email me directly at sharyl@cal.org; please include your name, email address, school or organization, and mailing address.
