Teaching Health Literacy in Conjunction with ESL

In the United States many English as a Second Language (ESL) speakers have low levels of health literacy. The purpose of this project is to create a curriculum that ESL teachers can implement to improve the English language proficiency and the health literacy skills of adult ESL speakers in the United States. The curriculum is designed for teachers who work with ESL speakers who may have trouble obtaining processing communicating or managing health information due to language barriers.
