Abstract	A pilot course was begun to provide English language training for non-native speakers of English who needed to develop language skills for their work in the garment industry. One advantage to this kind of language learning situation is that the environment provides ready materials, situations, subjects, and practical learning activities. The curriculum must be designed to fit the working environment, and the behavioral objectives established for the course must reflect the workers' needs. It was determined that workers should be able to: (1) communicate effectively with other workers and supervisors; (2) identify and carry out daily work responsibilities; (3) identify parts of the sewing machine and describe their function; and (4) participate in informal social conversations. Learning activities thus centered around giving and receiving instructions, explanations of the industry's operations, practice filling out forms, problem solving, and discussion of workers' actual experience during work hours.
