This guide is intended to provide guidance on planning and developing a coordinated, competency-based course of instruction in vocational education for students with limited English proficiency. Directed by both the vocational and the English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) instructor, it has been designed as a reference to be used when planning such programs. Ten chapters focus on the following topics: student assessment and classroom management; writing a job description and a duty and task inventory; describing tasks; writing performance objectives and course outlines; selecting learning activities and resources; constructing tests; identifying job-specific terminology; preparing a job-related ESL course of instruction; writing job-related ESL performance objectives; and developing job-related ESL learning activities. Samples and examples are provided throughout. Eleven resource organizations are listed at the end of the publication. (YLB)
