Job Site Instruction for Non-English Speaking Hospitality Workers:

A Library Economic Development Workshop for all Adult Literacy Practitioners

Workshop Content:

Hotels and motels often employ housekeepers who cannot speak English very well. They work hard, but are unable to answer simple questions from guests.

This library literacy training will show adult literacy practitioners of any kind how to set up an interactive literacy program tailored to the needs of housekeepers and other employees working in the hospitality industry who are limited English proficient. Volunteers and paid staff will learn how to teach basic English such as bathroom vocabulary, tourist attraction language, gift shop words, beach verbs, checkout times and more with an extremely user friendly format.

Sandy Newell, Director, State Library & Archives , and Roberta Reiss, Program Coordinator, Collier County Public Library Literacy Program, will present this model that Lois Meyers and Mary Casanova developed through the Literacy Volunteers of Monroe County, a partner of the Monroe County Public Library. It has been effectively used in the Florida Keys for years and has been proven to result in a better attitude among housekeepers, as documented by guest comment cards, as well as improving English skills overall. *Pre-registration is required.
