This curriculum guide for a general machinists course is intended for use in a program combining vocational English as a second language (VESL) with bilingual vocational education. A description of the VESL program design appears first. The next section provides a format on developing lesson plans for teaching the technical and general vocational vocabulary contained in each job training lesson immediately after vocational lessons. Specific VESL teaching activities are provided for recognition, production, and application. Lesson plans for vocabulary development follow. Functions (objectives) are correlated to structures and vocabulary and required materials. The vocational training lesson plans are then presented. The format for each lesson plan is as follows: teaching materials source, main concepts, technical and related general vocabulary, teaching activity, material and notes, length of lesson, and evaluation. Lesson plans are divided into 10 units: shop safety, introduction to machine shop, metal, bench metal procedures, band sawing, drilling machines, engine lathe, milling machine, grinders and abrasive machining, and computer numerical control. Glossaries of technical and related general vocabulary follow each unit. Some glossaries are in English and Vietnamese. Tests follow unit 1. (YLB)
