English is an essential life subject that holds challenges for many, especially around spelling and presenting information; approaching delivery in a different way can achieve a positive shift in results and mindset.
The Functional Skills English requirements under the new reforms are more challenging in their assessment expectations. These changes are essential for Functional Skills in English to remain in line with the GCSE curriculum and therefore need to be positively embraced.
This webinar will help to understand some of the key challenges and different approaches that are needed to allow learners to be successful in the attainment of the necessary knowledge, skills and confidence needed to achieve a pass.
