Working with Young Adults

Part of the joint NIACE and NRDC series, Developing Adult Teaching and Learning: Practitioner Guides

Published by NIACE in partnership with the National Research and Development Centre for Adult Literacy and Numeracy (NRDC), this is one of a series of guides to good practice – each in a key area of adult education – arising from five Effective Practice Studies carried out by NRDC from 2003 to 2007.

The series looks critically at how emerging and published research can inform the development of teaching and learning strategies for adults. It is designed to support practitioners working in a variety of settings.

Each guide in the series aims to update teachers on research and to encourage them to reflect on their practice. They are intended to inspire teachers to try ideas and approaches which research suggests are effective. Principles of good practice are illustrated by clear and relevant case studies from current research. All examples are highly relevant to the classroom. Pointers to further reading are provided.

Based on the findings of a research study on writing, and written for teachers working with adults and young people in Skills for Life provision this guide is intended to encourage teachers to reflect on writing and the ways in which they teach this in their classes, providing examples and inspiration to try new approaches. Grief and Chatterton challenge readers to ask questions and undertake their own classroom research in order to understand better how best to help their learners develop as writers.

The key messages in the book are relevant to all teaching contexts. The examples included within the book are drawn from a wide range of sources and from classes at different levels.
