Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to plan, develop, monitor, and assess adult language, literacy and numeracy skills at different levels and in vocational education and training (VET) contexts. It also includes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to evaluate delivery.
It applies to those who deliver adult language, literacy and numeracy skills provision, including:
• stand-alone courses, such as are required for the Language Literacy and Numeracy Program (LLNP)
• workplace courses, such as the Workplace English Language and Literacy (WELL) program
• those delivering in vocational and community-based settings.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

  • 5.5 Maintain records of assessment decisions
  • 5.6 Map learner outcomes to reporting instruments and complete reports

6.

  • 6.1 Collect feedback on assessment process from relevant parties
  • 6.2 Review program in light of evidence and make changes as necessary

Assessment Requirements

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:
• design a program to develop language, literacy and numeracy skills, including preparing at least 3 session plans appropriate to delivery context – each of the three areas, language, literacy and numeracy, must be covered by a session plan
• evaluate, select and contextualise adult language, literacy and numeracy teaching strategies appropriate to learner needs and delivery context
• source and use authentic print, media and electronic texts appropriate to the needs of the learner
• deliver adult language, literacy and numeracy teaching strategies to at least 3 learners for a period of up to one hour each
• develop and use formative assessment processes to monitor learning, make adjustments to program and provide feedback to learners
• develop at least 3 summative assessment tools as part of an assessment plan for English LLN learners consistent with training specification and appropriate to learner needs
• conduct and record assessments for at least six individual learners
• maintain learning and assessment records and prepare reports to meet needs of stakeholders
• evaluate learning program and teaching and assessment strategies, and make changes as necessary.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
• identify the frameworks and stakeholders that affect the way that LLN programs operate in a particular VET environment
• outline how legal, organisational and ethical requirements can be addressed within the design and development of a learning plan
• identify options, guidance and relevant services that can be provided to learners who need additional support to address barriers to skill development
• outline how theoretical understandings of skill development inform the selection and sequencing of teaching activities
• explain how current thinking on aspects of learning and assessment of adult English language, literacy and numeracy influence the adaption of teaching and assessment strategies used with specific learners
• outline strategies used to gather student and peer feedback on teaching and assessment and how feedback can be used to inform program review.

Assessment Conditions

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the language, literacy and numeracy practice field of work and include access to:
• opportunities to participate in practical exercises and projects
• appropriate training specifications
• appropriate adult literacy and numeracy teaching resources.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
