Description

Teaching Adults to Read Certification

Adult illiteracy is a huge problem in the UK, with nearly 5.2 million adults being functionally illiterate. Individuals who struggle with literacy tend to have higher rates of unemployment, come from impoverished backgrounds and have a higher rate of incarceration than their peers. Giving the adults in your community this necessary skill is an incredibly rewarding job. Unlike teaching English to primary or secondary school students, it is much easier to get involved with adult literacy programmes in your neighbourhood.

This course gives you an introduction into how to teach literacy to adults. We begin with a discussion about the types of students you are likely to encounter, giving you tips on how to help them succeed in the classroom. We also review methods you can use to teach literacy and include a discussion about the role technology should play in your lessons.

You Will Learn:

Details about the illiteracy problem facing the UK
What kind of classroom exercises you can use to reinforce your literacy lessons
What the essential elements of a literacy programme are
The six strategies experts recommend using when teaching literacy to adults
The four strategies you can use to keep your adult learners interested and engaged
