This site contains the online versions of the Skills for Life Materials for Embedded Learning. These embedded teaching and learning materials are designed for use by teachers: vocational teachers and trainers, Skills for Life teachers, teachers working in community, employability and health settings and employability programmes. Skills for Life Materials for Embedded Learning aim to help learners to improve the literacy, language or numeracy skills they need to succeed at work, in community-based and health-related activities or as part of vocational training programmes. The materials cover 28 vocational, employability, health and community contexts.

There are also some interactive materials set in adult contexts and giving practice in some of the literacy and numeracy skills developed in the paper-based materials.

The NRDC has recently completed a series of case studies of embedded teaching and learning of literacy, language and numeracy.

Tom Jupp and Celia Roberts highlight the key messages that emerge from these studies. The national Skills Strategy aims to increase substantially the number of people who have a Level 2 vocational qualification. One obstacle to this is that many people who might want to aim for such qualifications have poor literacy, language and numeracy (LLN) skills, which will stand in the way of their success. The Skills for Life strategy recognises that many such people with LLN needs do not want to attend LLN classes.

But it is also widely accepted that such people's willingness to work on their LLN skills is enhanced when they can improve them in the context of the vocational programme which is their primary motivation. There are two models for providing LLN within the framework of a wider vocational programme: Key findings Motivation and vocational courses The teaching team.
