Workplace Literacy Project. Final Report.
Lopilato, Louis
The final report on a Mercy College (New York) program of mathematics and vocational English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) instruction for limited-English-proficient workers in a manufacturing company is presented. The report consists of documentary materials, and is organized according to the five chronological terms in which the program operated, from fall 1993 through fall 1994. ESL courses were offered at four levels and one basic mathematics course was offered. Introductory sections outline staffing, scheduling, and program evaluation and dissemination activities. Subsequent sections present information on each course, including class list, pretest used, course outline, posttest, test results for each student, and student progress reports. In a prefatory letter, it is noted that the scope of the program has broadened to include ESL and living skills instruction not directly related to job performance, to meet worker requests and enhance productivity. The report does not contain a program evaluation. (MSE) (Adjunct ERIC Clearinghouse on Literacy Education)
