Current teaching practice in using a system of phonics with post-16 learners
The Education and Training Foundation (ETF) commissioned research from a team based at University College London to investigate current teaching practice in using phonics in the Further Education and Training sector.Â
The research was undertaken to investigate current experiences of teaching reading, writing and word level skills – with a particular focus on literacy practitioners who are teaching Functional Skills English at entry level. The feedback included comments on:
their experience of using phonics approaches with diverse adult learner groups
any barriers and enablers to effective practice that they are aware of.
The anonymised findings in ‘Current practice in using a system of phonics with post-16 learners’ provide effective background guidance to the sector in the run up to the reform of the Functional Skills English curriculum. The report includes a review of the evidence supporting the use of phonics-based approaches with adult learners; and learner and practitioner perspectives on the range of materials available.
The ETF, together with subject experts, is undertaking the development of a framework and resources for phonics teaching in the post-16 sector as part of the Functional Skills workforce training programme.Â
For more information, please contact the ETF Head of Maths and English, Imke Djouadj.
The National Literacy Trust have created a digital map of Black and Black British authors, illustrators, publishers and bookshops from all over the UK.
The next meeting of the Essential Skills and Inclusion Network will be held online on the 11th of November. All Practitioners of English, Maths, ESOL, SEND and digital skills working in the prison sector are welcome.
New resources mapping the Professional Standards for Teachers and Trainers to the career development of practitioners have been released by the Education and Training Foundation.
