Succeeding with the LEP in Vocational Education: Common Concerns and Solutions.
Lopez-Valadez, Jeanne
This manual is designed to be used as a resource in the planning and implementation of vocational education support services for the limited-English-proficient (LEP) student. The focus of the manual is to address the linguistic and cultural backgrounds of LEP persons and provide them with vocational education that encompasses a wide array of services--targeted recruitment, occupational English, adapted vocational instruction, career counseling and job development--in order to facilitate their participation in training and integration into the workplace. Topics covered include identifying LEP students, training models, assessment of LEP students, instructional adaptation, the role of culture, counseling materials and funding. Appended materials include the following: sample language proficiency descriptions; sample home language surveys; a list of resource agencies; a bilingual vocational program student referral form; the Bilingual Vocational Education project's industrial and technical training curriculum; a list of typing competencies for the LEP student; bilingual vocational training models; ethnic media resources; recruitment brochures; language proficiency assessment tools; excerpts from a technical English test; Vocational English-as-a-Second-Language (VESL) competency checklist for data entry; sources of sample assessment instruments; a list of information and materials clearinghouses; work English VESL competencies; and sample VESL lesson plans.
