I've been working on a series specifically for restaurant workers.  I'll let
everyone know about it when they are finished.  It's an exciting project
that I can't wait to share.

McGraw-Hill Contemporary has a series called Make Your Mark by Grebel and
Pogrund with 4 industry-specific titles.  Each item is available separately,
but each title includes student text, audiocassette, and teacher's guide.
They are:
- Make Your Mark in Food Service
- Make Your Mark in the Hotel Industry
- Make Your Mark in Retail Jobs
- Make Your Mark in Health Services

These were purchased for our libraries and repackaged to circulate as kits.
They are seeing quite a bit of use.

McGraw-Hill Contemporary's phone # is 1-800-621-1918.  Web site is

I have a teacher in my program that is looking for a specialized ESL book or
resource that focuses on restaurants--especially for students that work as
servers and have difficulty understanding the customers and explaining
'today's special' for example...  This teacher works primarily with
beginning and low intermediate ESL students.  

Any ideas?? I would appreciate your help.
