Miami-Dade Community Coll., FL.
Project H.E.L.P. (Haitian/Hispanic Employability through Language Program) was developed in response to the language and employment needs of adult Spanish-speaking and Haitian immigrants in Florida. It is an interinstitutional cooperative educational program focusing on four basic aspects of communication: understanding, speaking, reading, and writing. The primary purpose is to help students learn functional conversational English. The program is described in detail, including: (1) program philosophy; (2) administrative and programmatic organization, including sample data collection forms for a variety of administrative functions; (3) linkages and cooperative arrangements with community agencies, business, and industry; (4) outreach and need assessment; (5) curriculum objectives, models, and instructional materials; (6) teaching techniques and materials; (7) the volunteer component; (8) evaluation of student progress, staff, and the overall program; and (9) results of participant surveys.
