Improving Literacy at Work
Bu e-kitab haqqında
While Improving Literacy at Work builds on detailed research from the UK, the issue is a universal one and rising skill requirements mean the conclusions drawn will be of equal interest elsewhere in Europe, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The research findings have very direct implications and practical relevance for teaching and learning, as this valuable book demonstrates, providing clear advice on how to develop effective provision and how best to support learners at work.
Throughout the study, the authors address the following fundamental questions:
- How do adults’ literacy skills impact on their working lives, and on the enterprises where they work?
- How can we develop these essential skills in the workforce?
- When and how can literacy instruction change individuals’ employability and engagement with further learning?
Essential reading for trainers and managers in industry, teachers, researchers and lecturers in adult and further education and stakeholders implementing evidence-based policy, this book maps the fundamental changes taking place in workplace literacy.
