Four modules include: (1) "Knowing and Presenting Your Adult Education Program to Business and Industry" (e.g., introduction to Tennessee's Workplace ESOL Initiative, the four-step process for Tennessee's Workplace ESOL Initiative, comparison of traditional and workplace ESOL, and teaching basic skills in the workplace); (2) "Knowing Your Community's Needs and Understanding the Workplace" (e.g., workplace ESOL scenarios, workplace literacy programs for nonnative English speakers, workplace code of ethics, and language task analysis activities); (3) "Designing a Plan to Deliver and Sustain Services" (e.g., budgetary worksheet, statement of confidentiality, checklist for employer establishing a workplace education program, and tips for adapting workplace materials for ESOL instruction); and (4) "Knowing Your Results by Monitoring and Evaluating Progress" (e.g., assessment and evaluation, Tennessee ESOL in the Workplace sample implementation guidelines, and action plan for praxis). Five appendixes present a glossary, workplace readiness guides and surveys, references, workplace tools, and PowerPoint slides. (Adjunct ERIC Clearinghouse for ESL Literacy Education.)
