Question:
anyone who has worked with groups of adults who are in ESOL programs and have completed the program and still do not understand English. Where can I get resources to find out more about such issues especially in communities that do not speak English and always need an interpreter to get information from them
Answer:

Any "second language" is difficult to learn but the adult education literature might be helpful. On the toolbox are some useful ideas about supporting those learning a second language at: http://ctb.ku.edu/tools//sub_section_examples_1349.htm One useful website at Purdue University is: owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/586/01 and includes other links for teacher resourses. Another link is: http://iteslj.org/links/ Be encouraged to reach in your own community for interpreters and master teachers of ESOL who can help you understand if the issue is about content or method or interesting cultural meaning.
