New research into using phonics in teaching basic English

31st January 2018

Experiences of those who teach prisoners, individuals with special educational needs and disabilities, and non-English speakers will inform the research
The way in which phonics is used in the teaching of English to adults will be the focus of a major new research programme announced today by the Education and Training Foundation (ETF).

It has commissioned University College London to investigate current approaches to the use of phonics in functional skills English with adult learners. Researchers will use focus groups and an online survey. Their findings will help shape advice and guidance given by the ETF to teachers during the run-up to the introduction of the reformed functional skills qualifications in English and maths next year.
