This curriculum guide was developed for a 150-week worker-centered, holistic course in language skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) for workers at the Juno Lighting plant in Chicago, many of whom are immigrants from Mexico, Guatemala, and other Latin American countries. The curriculum is a guide to lesson planning and topic development. Objectives, vocabulary, language skills, lesson ideas, and suggested materials are included with each unit. The units center on the following 16 themes: describing job steps; tools and their uses; giving instruction and asking for clarification; describing defects; reporting a problem; attendance policy and point system; making requests; calling in sick (body parts, describing illness); accidents at work; safety rules; mathematics and numbers; understanding paychecks; forms at work; union benefits; review; and posttesting.
