The benefits of this course
This class will enable you to revise and learn new skills in an informal and fun way, away from the stresses of normal family life. You will have the opportunity to work in an adult environment and have access to a qualified adult and family learning tutor. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and to improve your skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening, spelling, punctuation and grammar. You will also be able to find out about other available courses.
All of our teaching and learning is provided in an environment that is exclusive to adults; this is supportive and safe and where professional teaching is individualised to the requirements of each learner, individual progression in learning is the goal. Learning support will be provided by the tutor. Teaching is through practical activities, group work and discussion. Full participation will require you to find some time to complete homework, which will be marked and commented on by the tutor with guidance to help you to know how to improve. You will also be able to find out about other available courses.
How will progress be monitored and assessed?
Learning goals are agreed at the beginning of the course between you and your tutor; they are recorded on your individual learning plan. The ILP is used throughout the course to assess how your learning and achievement goals are progressing. The tutor will assess your learning during the sessions and will provide supportive feedback to you. You will be asked to provide feedback about your learning experience via a questionnaire.
A Sandwell adult and family learning (SAFL) certificate will be awarded at the end of the course, when you have achieved your agreed learning outcomes.
