An annotated bibliography of English as a second language (ESL) materials and an article by Brenda Gates on the development of ESL materials that relate to students' everyday lives and futures are included. Additionally, a list of the manuals and reprints currently available for volunteers who want to develop lessons and classes focusing on basic human needs is provided. (SW)
