This paper is intended to provide information and suggestions that may be useful to the volunteer or professional teacher of English who is working with adult Indochinese refugees. In addition to offering general information on language teaching at the adult level, the guide provides information on the linguistic background of the refugees, discusses examples of the types of problems the learners will be likely to encounter, and makes practical suggestions to the teacher. A brief annotated bibliography is also provided, and is divided into three sections: (1) Indochinese Refugee Education Guides produced by the National Indochinese Clearinghouse, and available free of charge; (2) helpful background and resource material for the teacher or volunteer; and (3) suggested text materials.
