Developing Embedded Literacy, Language and Numeracy (Lifelines)

Recognising that many adults do not seek tuition in literacy, language and numeracy, this Lifeline helps teachers and managers to consider how these subjects can be taught alongside or within other programmes of study. By identifying where literacy, language or numeracy occur naturally it shows how teaching and learning can become more relevant and purposeful. This practical guide offers different models of delivery that can be adapted to suit both the learners and the programme of study. It draws on examples developed by teachers and outlines the challenges and complexities of this approach as well as the opportunities and advantages.
