DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Market potential exists for on-site job training in long-term care (LTC) to help non-English-speaking indirect care staff (dietary, maintenance and housekeeping) learn English for the work setting. Creative Action plans to develop and market the Care Environment English (CEE) Program for Non-English-Speaking Staff in indirect care positions. Targeted to the LTC industry, the CEE Program will immediately improve the indirect care workers' communication with supervisors, other workers, and residents and later enable advancement to better-paying positions within the facility. The CEE program will consist of innovative learning materials with a learning station for self-paced practice, easy-to-use portable materials with phonetic transliteration in Spanish of English words for on-the-spot speaking, and a curriculum for weekly training classes in Care Environment English and cultural competency. Phase I research successfully demonstrated technical feasibility of the program curriculum, materials and components for use with Spanish-speaking workers. Guided by Phase I results and the growing importance of such training for Spanish-speakers, Phase II research will develop refined prototypes and extend technology to DVD multi-media materials, and PDA- based language software. Additional components will involve facility management and other relevant staff. During Phase II, CEE curriculum, materials and components will be finalized for commercialization in Phase III.

描述（由申请人提供）：长期护理（LTC）的现场工作培训存在市场潜力，以帮助非英语间接护理人员（饮食，维护和家政）学习工作环境中的英语。创意行动计划为间接护理职位的非英语员工开发和推广护理环境英语（CEE）课程。针对LTC行业，CEE项目将立即改善间接护理工作者与主管、其他工人和住院医生的沟通，并在之后提升到设施内薪酬更高的职位。高考课程将包括创新的学习材料，有一个自我学习的学习站，易于使用的便携式材料，英语单词的西班牙语语音音译，用于现场口语，以及每周的护理环境英语和文化能力培训课程。第一阶段的研究成功地证明了项目课程、材料和组件在西班牙语工人中使用的技术可行性。根据第一阶段的成果和对西班牙语使用者的这种培训日益重要的指导，第二阶段的研究将开发改进的原型，并将技术扩展到DVD多媒体材料和基于PDA的语言软件。其他组成部分将涉及设施管理和其他相关人员。在第二阶段，CEE课程、材料和组件将在第三阶段完成商业化。
