Develop English language skills of adult learners
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: July 2024
This unit applies to adult literacy and numeracy practitioners working in the VET sector. The classroom, the workplace and the community may include those who wish to develop their English language skills. Teaching groups of diverse learners in diverse delivery contexts requires adult literacy and numeracy practitioners to draw on a wide range of teaching pedagogies and practices, including those related to English language teaching.
Specialist adult English language provision is offered:
in stand-alone courses for settlement purposes, such as the Adult Migrant Education Program (AMEP)
in curricula designed specifically for English as a second language (ESL) learners
as specialist support for learners.
The qualifications required by teachers in these programs are described in human resource statements in ESL-accredited course documentation.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to develop English language teaching strategies to meet the literacy and numeracy needs of adult learners in vocational education and training (VET) contexts.
It includes analysing the English language requirements of VET contexts, applying teaching approaches and strategies for teaching English language skills, and selecting English language learning resources that meet learner requirements.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
