Keresztes-Nagy, Susan
The curriculum guide is designed for a workplace education program for assembly line workers, inspectors, machine operators, packers, materials handlers, blenders, grinders, and trainers in a factory. The curriculum consists of instruction in English as a Second Language for the job, workplace communication, efficient and safe work habits, and enhancement of job performance. The guide consists of five themed units of instruction: quality control; work forms, codes, and other work-related written materials; workplace communication; health and safety; and company rules. Each unit lists instructional objectives and related language skills, lesson ideas and class activities, and cross-references to specific texts and instructional materials. Additional materials include a job-related vocabulary and phrase lists, and an English/Spanish glossary of vocabulary concerning defects. (MSE) (Adjunct ERIC Clearinghouse on Literacy Education)
