Operating under a contract with the Innovations Branch of Canada Employment and Immigration Commission (CEIC), LWP's mandate is to develop industry-specific training materials and model programmes that can be used to help employees develop the literacy skills needed to function in the changing workplace. One component of Learning in the Workplace is the use of peer tutors who meet with co-workers who are interested in improving their skills. This paper is concerned with showing that the peer tutoring model is a useful component for identifying and meeting worksite literacy needs of non-native speakers. ER -
