W. Washington, D.C. 20052 (202) 676-6286 Executive Registry 85- 217 Dear Educational Representative or Work Supervisor: Your own responsible employees may be impeding the efficiency of your workplace because their literacy skills cannot rise to meet increasingly complex communication tasks. Limitations - perhaps unacknowledged or undetected - in reading, writing, listening, speaking, and/or computing may interfere with job effectiveness and retraining or promotion efforts. These deficits diminish an individual's pride and self-reliance. Resulting frustrations can occur at all career levels and can change worker potential into worker stagnation. The George Washington University Reading Center's unique series of courses for adults addresses inadequate literacy skills at all levels. Rather than tailor the instruction to meet specified job requirements, the teachers focus on the literacy needs of those adults who enroll. Because the learning is personally re- levant, the students gain confidence to learn and to change their language competencies. As they experience success and enjoyment while learning, their frustrations, fears, and self-defeating attitudes evaporate. Their increased sense of motivation and po- tential is reflected in significant contributions to their work. The Adult Language Enrichment Program (ALERT) includes eleven non- credit courses from developmental to post-graduate levels: five levels of reading, two levels of English for non-native speakers, two levels of writing, and one level each of spelling and oral com- munication skills. Please encourage your valued employees, asso- ciates, and students whom you feel are not living up to their po- tential to consider ALERT enrollment. Courses are scheduled year around during mornings, afternoons, and evenings. For further information about ALERT, contact me at The Reading Center. Sincerely yours, Nancy Goudreau Coordinator of the Adult Language Enrichment Program Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/10/19: CIA-RDP88GO0186R000300310043-2 ~I' Stance ".r L 110 u~ts~ S Oti GASSES FAR p~ r FOCI dente.
