Descript:
Since the first edition of Teaching English in the Workplace was published in 1984, workplace education programs have changed dramatically. A wider range of employers has been drawn in, unions and other groups have taken initiatives, and relevant legislation and policies have been created. In addition, the cultural composition of many communities is changing and social justice issues are receiving long-overdue attention.

In this completely revised and expanded edition of Teaching English in the Workplace, Mary Ellen Belfiore and Barbara Burnaby have preserved the central themes of the first edition while integrating ideas and examples that reflect new ways of thinking about workplace education. Rounding out this edition are contributions from a variety of experts in the field about issues such as:

  • Social justice and its role in workplace education
  • Responding to racism in workplace ESL
  • Producing clear language documents
  • Conducting an organizational needs assessment

Audience: Both teachers and administrators of workplace programs, as well as workplace teacher trainers.
