Re: ESL speakers

[julie -dot- harrison -at- holset -dot- com]

Hi Toni,

I'm based in England and used to be a union learning rep - I don't know if
you have a similar role in the States.

Over here, the government fund ESOL courses (English for speakers of other
languages). They are completely free, and in plentiful supply.

Might be worth contacting your union, see if you have anything similar in
the States?

Best regards
Julie

We have a great many engineers, analysts, and qa
testers for whom English is not their native language.
While they are very good at what they do, written
communication has become a significant problem.
I (the technical writer) have been asked to research
some resources that would help them improve their
written English -- web-based or books -- perhaps in
the forms of exercises???
I really don't know but was hoping someone here might
have some ideas.
Thanks very much.

Toni
