Volunteer Coordinator Handbook for Volunteer Programs Teaching ESL to Refugee Students.
Bentson, Marilyn
The handbook contains ideas, worksheets, and sample forms to assist in the administration of volunteer programs teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) to refugees. Chapters address: (1) planning (finding a coordinator, planning the program, assessing the need, and defining the volunteer's job); (2) recruitment (locating volunteer teachers, gathering volunteer data, and interviewing); (3) training (making arrangements and providing program orientation); (4) placement (locating students, gathering student data, assessing student language needs, connecting student with tutor, and keeping records); and (5) recognition (expressing appreciation in a variety of ways, the exit interview, and program evaluation). Appended materials include a list of volunteer ESL programs in Washington assisted by the Tacoma Community House; a list of state-funded refugee classes in Washington; a 55-item bibliography of ESL texts, supplementary materials, vocational ESL texts and materials, sources of background information, and Indochinese refugee education guides, with publishers' addresses; and checklists of state literacy objectives.
