A case study of a project intended to increase learners' motivation to learn English across a large group of partner organisations, by enabling them to see the value of developing their English skills and practice.
The project focused on improving the impact of information, advice and guidance processes to ensure learners gained a good understanding of their strengths and weaknesses, along with developing awareness of the links between English skills and their future aspirations. The project also sought to improve the skills and confidence of vocational tutors in teaching English.
The project delivered a range of activities, including observations, feedback and training for IAG advisors, promoting collaboration between tutors and IAG advisors, working across partnerships and organisations, encouraging staff to take responsibility for their own CPD, and embedding FE Professional Standards in CPD processes. The project generated evidence of improved learner retention and achievement, and the quality of written work improved significantly.
