The first course provides students with a grounding in general medical concepts and in the special English useful to all health paraprofessionals.

The second VESL course is more occupation specific and provides language support for the vocational course in nursing assistance or home health in which students are concurrently enrolled. The author has developed and taught the two VESL courses in close coordination with the content of the vocational course. Instructional strategies, especially in the more vocation-specific course, are designed to encourage language acquisition behavior which will allow students to assume responsibility for their own professional learning.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101229,"journal":{"name":"The ESP Journal","volume":"3 2","pages":"Pages 165-170"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0272-2380(84)90027-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81888204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

VESL course planners have addressed learners' needs in pre-employment, vocational, and workplace programs. In all of these situations, attempts have been made at describing work. Generally, two approaches have been taken: (1) describing work activities in terms of processes and procedures (work-oriented analysis), and (2) describing work activities in terms of specific human behaviors (worker-oriented analysis). The former approach tends to generate goal-oriented courses. The latter tends to generate process-oriented courses. In planning courses. I often find myself asking the same questions. What approach should I take? How do I identify language needs within a given approach? How can I evaluate results? What is my role in a program? This paper explores these issues for workplace English. The paper discusses goal analysis; job analysis and language analysis (as they relate to work-oriented and worker-oriented approaches); and measurement of results.
