The teacher training framework, introduced in September 2007, requires all
teachers in the post-16 sector to possess knowledge, understanding and personal
skills to at least level 2 in the minimum core for language and literacy.
Coverage and assessment of the core has to be embedded in all Certificate and
Diploma courses leading to QTLS and ATLS status. This book is a practical guide
to language and literacy for trainee teachers in the Lifelong Learning sector.
It enables trainee teachers to identify and develop their own language and
literacy skills and also to support their students' language and literacy.
