Abstract	The Orange County Public Schools' Job Site English Project was initiated to provide employees of businesses and industries with work-related English for speakers of other languages. The program features individualized curricula that are developed after the curriculum writer visits the business/industry in need of services, analyzes the responsibilities of the individuals employed in the given job(s), and becomes familiar with the specialized technical vocabulary required for the specific job. After the curriculum is developed, a management-level employee maintains ongoing contact with the curriculum writer, and later the instructors, to provide feedback that can be used to modify the curriculum as the need arises. The class activities provided vary widely from site to site, but may include some or all of the following: building vocabulary by examining words in context, reading aloud and responding to yes/no and information questions, identifying vocabulary from pictures, repeating and acting out dialogues, practicing transformation and substitution drills, doing pronunciation and description drills, and preparing and performing situational role play assignments and speeches. As of June 1986, 290 limited English-proficient students have attended project-sponsored classes, and four additional classes are currently being planned. Disney's EPCOT Center, the Royal Plaza and Lake Buena Vista Palace hotels, Piezo Technology, Inc., and the Daniels Manufacturing Corporation are among the businesses that the project has served thus far. (Appendixes include the project needs assessment form and sample curricula, materials, and evaluation forms that have been developed for selected businesses.) (MN)
