The term ‘employability’ refers to the understandings, attitudes and skills that individuals need to gain and sustain paid work in today’s economy. This session will explore how you can create engaging, interactive, learning activities that develop learners’ employability, as well as their language skills.

This session addresses the key issue of how to help individuals become effective language learners. It explores practical ways to help low-level learners develop the attitudes and behaviours (including motivation!) that enable effective language learning.

Research on the linguistic integration of adult migrants points clearly to the importance of extending responsibility for migrant language learning (particularly work-related language learning) well beyond the individual learner and their teacher. This session looks at what this means for you as a teacher, and invites you to consider how we might create a more supportive environment for your learners, inside and outside of the classroom.
