Materials for a teacher workshop on assessing student needs for vocational English as a Second Language (VESL) are gathered. An annotated workshop outline presents the content and sequence of the workshop. Masters are provided for handouts and transparencies, which include an icebreaker activity, the workshop agenda, materials from the "Dictionary of Occupational Titles" and the "Occupational Outlook Handbook," a list of recommended resources, a chart integrating content areas and language instruction in occupation-specific VESL, general and occupation-specific shop safety, tools, materials, and shop procedures for a number of occupations (auto mechanics, welding, upholstery, electronic assembly, and auto body work), and a checklist for assessing language need in five areas (vocabulary, situations, functions, structures, and register).
