New approaches to teaching English
Ideas and inspiration for new approaches to teaching English in the post-16 sector from the Outstanding Teaching, Learning and Assessment (English) programme.
The OTLA (English) programme was funded by the Education and Training Foundation and delivered by ccConsultancy in partnership with That Reading Thing and Skills Digital. Twelve project teams used action research to develop new approaches for teaching English in the post-16 sector, focused upon driving professional development for staff by encouraging practitioners to use action research to explore and integrate those approaches into teaching, learning and assessment.
Project themes were:
- Assessment for learning
- Developing new teaching strategies
- Creating a reading culture
- Developing resilience
- Meeting individual learners’ needs
- Developing reading and writing
- Developing new teaching strategies
- Phonics
