Students learned to ask questions for information, give directions, read maps and bus schedules, and plan trips using local resources and a Pennsylvania state visitor's guide. The program has been found helpful in increasing student confidence in English, improving knowledge of the community and state, and easing the transition from a foreign culture to American life. Severaldocuments are included here: a project summary, instructor's manual, student workbook, and a state-produced visitor's guide used for instruction in the program. The summary report describes briefly the project's rationale and origins, purposes and objectives, schedule, administration, intended audience, and information dissemination efforts. Specific project objectives (curriculum development, piloting, inservice teacher education event, and final report) and related activities are outlined and evaluation activities are detailed. The instructor's manual contains outlines, instructional materials, and planning materials for the 12 lessons in the curriculum. The student's workbook contains lesson materials worksheets for those lessons.
