Embedding English

Callipygous Call my Bluff Being capable of eating large amounts in one sitting Professionally incompetent on a grand scale Having beautiful buttocks

Call my Bluff Write down 1 specialist term/word from your vocation/specialism (as alienating/difficult as possible!) Write down 3 plausible definitions and read them out to your group. Your team needs to find the correct definition.

SHARING EXPERIENCES Work in pairs & share your own personal experiences of English learning – both positive & negative. Make a note of them in the relevant column on the padlet: http://tinyurl.com/KKembedding

EMBEDDED ENGLISH Work in pairs. Create a spidergram, listing what vocational tasks your allocated picture suggests. In different colours, list the English skills anybody carrying out each task might use or might need to learn.

NRDC Research A positive association between embedded approaches and … Higher retention & achievement rates on vocational courses Higher achievement rates for LLN qualifications Learners stating that they felt better prepared for work in the future NRDC (2006) Embedding literacy, language and numeracy in post-16 vocational programmes – the impact on teaching and learning

What is the difference between embedding & contextualising? Embedded learning Start with vocational/other subject context Find the maths and English Contextualised learning Start with maths and English Find context

Triad of barriers to maths & ENGLISH engagement Previous negative experiences at school Lack or perceived relevance to employment & real-life contexts Low learner self-confidence ETF (2014) Effective Practices in Post-16 Vocational Maths Education & Training Foundation

Why English is difficult: As students progress through school the focus… (shifts) from learning to read and write to reading and writing to learn. Sentences become much more complex... and contain a much wider range of vocabulary. The focus shifts so that reading and writing are instrumental to other learning and this impacts on those who haven’t easily developed fluency in these skills.

Texts get longer and more difficult. As students progress, text stuctures which they have to read and to produce become more complex, e.g. compare and contrast problem and solution cause and effect idea development. Texts get longer and more difficult. These structures are a challenge to all students. Make link to Functional Skills and reading/writing required for vocational qualifications. Learners may be doing FS at L2 but actually taking L3 vocational qualifications which presuppose more advanced research, analytical and expressive skills.

English anxiety ‘Anxiety is frequently and clearly recognised …failing to acquire literacy is associated with searing anxiety all round.’ (Everatt & Brannan, 1996 and others) ‘We always describe anxiety as the cart, but it could just as easily be the horse. Anxiety could just as easily be a primary cause of failure rather than its result.’ http://hugokerr.info/book.pdf Clarify the meaning here. Ask the questions: are learners anxious first and then this stops them learning, or do they try and then become anxious in the face of difficulty?

Creating Embedded Activities for English In pairs… Pick a VOCATIONAL task from one of your specialisms Briefly – list the key aspects of the task that you would want students to know Briefly – list some of the English skills students would need to use Devise a VOCATIONAL activity that includes consideration of the underpinning English needed.

Plenary DISCUSSION Were you surprised how much English was needed for your tasks? Why is this? How would the English skills used here differ from those developed in a dedicated English session? What aspects of the English you have listed would you expect learners to struggle with? What activities could you develop to target these key English skills?

Top tips for promoting the development of English skills Work on specialist vocabulary. Provide a glossary- or even better have the students create their own glossary! Incorporate English skills into peer assessment criteria. Assess SPAG formatively wherever possible e.g. homework, class work. Provide feedback. Consider the interdependent skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening. Incorporate in lesson planning- BUT be clear about how this will be assessed!
