121. Not Too Long Ago (1999)
Seniors Tell Their Stories
Authors: Garry Cranford
Collection: Learning Materials
This document includes more than sixty stories from seniors living in all regions of Newfoundland and Labrador. Collected primarily through taped interviews, the stories have been edited as little as possible in order to retain the individual voice of each contributor.
Some of the stories are personal reminiscences, like one man’s account of life as a coal miner or an Englishwoman’s experiences as an outport nurse. Others refer to historical events, like the tsunami that struck Newfoundland’s Burin Peninsula in 1929.
The collection is aimed at seniors who are trying to improve their literacy skills.

This is also a useful contribution to the literature of practitioner research and inquiry.

126. On the Job: Essential Skill of Oral Communication (2006)
Series: On the Job: ESL and Essential Skills for Work
Authors: Centre for Canadian Language Benchmarks (CCLB)
Collection: Learning Materials
Integrating oral communication skills into the ESL classroom is nothing new – in fact that is pretty well a “raison d’etre” in the first place. Most language learning methods used in Canada include a balanced approach to learning that integrates speaking and listening, as well as reading and writing.
Oral Communication as defined in the Essential Skills Reader’s Guide refers to, “the use of speech to give and exchange thoughts and information by workers in an occupational group.” Dimensions of oral communication are based on four dimensions, including the range and complexity of the information, communication function and context, and the relative risks of a failure in communication.
