Oct 14, 2025 - English at Work

When: Tuesday October 14th, 7pm

Join us for an evening to reflect on a fascinating project in developing English-language skills in the workplace in Toronto in the 1980s.

In 1984, North York Board of Education hired Deborah Barndt and ESL teacher Mary Ellen Belfiore to produce a kit for teachers in the English in the Workplace Program (EWP). They were given rare access to seven workplaces to interview and photograph immigrant workers at their jobs, and in communication with their supervisors and fellow workers.

The result was English At Work: A Tool Kit for Teachers, a multimedia collection of five media tools.
