Download or read book Talk Time Handbook written by Marilyn Bentson and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1995 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual is based on the concept that group based conversational opportunity for newly arrived refugees using volunteer facilitators could be replicated. Talk Time programs flourish in different settings. Most commonly, a volunteer ESL tutor program decides to add a Talk Time component to its existing services. However, sometimes the need to start a Talk Time program emerges from another type of organization or the community. For example, some classroom based adult education programs have decided to begin a Talk Time with volunteers on campus as a supplement for the ESL classes.
