Classroom techniques for teaching vocational English as a Second Language to hotel housekeepers are offered. The materials consist of a list of specific performance outcomes (use of content language to make verb/object combinations of hotel housekeeping tasks, use of functional language to create communication strategies for negotiation and planning), communication teaching points, and targeted SCANS (Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills) competencies, and a ten-step procedure for teachers to use in preparing and implementing an instructional unit. The steps cover such activities as anticipating student needs, preparing materials, building language use patterns in the classroom, forming student teams or groups, building discussions within groups, using independent study, setting goals, debriefing the groups, evaluating progress, and celebrating accomplishment.
