In response to the need for instructional materials to help limited-English-proficient Laotian-speaking adults become self-sufficient in American society, ten lessons in job search and related skill areas are presented. Each lesson begins with a teacher's guide, which gives an overview of the text, notes on vocabulary and phrases, and a number of suggested classroom techniques or procedures. The remainder of the lesson consists of a list of objectives and vocabulary, with Laotian translations, text, and three comprehension tests. Lesson topics include: the job search; how to use want-ads to find a job; filling out a job application; writing business letters; writing a resume; the job interview; Social Security and completion of the W-4 form; reading the W-2 statement; reading a paycheck; and how to use and reconcile a checking account. Answer keys for the tests and a bilingual English-Laotian glossary are appended. (MSE) (Adjunct ERIC Clearinghouse on Literacy Education)
