Although the lessons are designed for the classroom, there are certain aspects of each unit that can easily be adapted to a tutoring situation. Nishio, Yvonne Wong. Longman ESL Literacy. Boston, MA: Addison Wesley Longman. 1991. Includes a student book with ten units, which emphasize life skills such as writing checks and responding to telephone calls. A teacher's manual is also included with step-by-step lesson plans and supplemental handouts. Picture and vocabulary flashcards are also available. Selman, Mary and Linda Mrowicki, A New Start Canada. Agincourt, Ontario: Dominie Press Ltd., 1984. This kit contains tapes, student workbooks and textbooks as well as a teacher's guide. The teacher's manual explains how the materials can be used with literate and non-literate learners. Lesson plans are set up and include objectives, materials and detailed steps. There is a variety of themes in the kit. The language taught is functional (asking for things, responding to a request, paying bills) and focuses on the immediate needs of learners.
