This WEB site is part of an employability curriculum for Texas’ adult education students. The classroom lesson plans and the student book can be downloaded under the Resource Tab on the Menu Bar.  This project was designed by the El Paso Community College Workplace Literacy Programs as part of a larger Texas wide education initiative to provide work-related language development in adult education classes across the state. The larger project developed a demand-driven workplace literacy and basic skills curriculum in specific employment sectors. (See TCALL for copies of the curricula products known as “Industry-related ESL for: Sales and Service”, “Health Care”, or “Manufacturing.”) TCALL can be reached at:
