Bilingual Vocational Training with Trainers and Trainees: Concepts and Applications.
Sayers, Dennis
This monograph explicates the techniques for bilingual skills training of adults and out-of-school youth that were developed in the bilingual vocational training program at Bullard-Havens Regional Vocational-Technical School in Connecticut. The first chapter deals with the problem-posing and questioning technique known as "concientizacion," which was developed by Paulo Freire and which has been used extensively in bilingual programs throughout the world. It focuses on the learning processes of codification, decodification, and recodification. Discussed in the second chapter is the technique of "capacitacion," which is a method for teaching visual English to vocational students that represents English word order rules in a manner that is systematized through question-words. Procedures are set forth for using tape and slide presentations and question-and-answer sessions based on the visual English method in bilingual vocational English classes. Concluding the monograph is an annotated list of selected references dealing with bilingual instruction for vocational students. (MN)
