This curriculum guide is designed for use by teachers of limited-English-proficient (LEP) students. The first section of the guide describes the aim of the curriculum, the mission of the Cincinnati Public Schools, the adult basic education program's philosophy with regard to the teaching of LEP students, typical characteristics of this student population, guidelines for effective teaching of LEP students, general skills found at each of four proficiency levels, and the process and stages of language acquisition. The bulk of the guide consists of specific skill development objectives, content, teaching strategies, and evaluation procedures for each topic at each skill level. Some topics involve daily living and communication skills and vocabulary, and others consist of grammatical constructions. A 50-item bibliography and a list of suggested additional materials are appended. (MSE) (Adjunct ERIC Clearinghouse on Literacy Education)
