Although I am one with the principle that every teacher should be required to embed literacy and numeracy in his or her teaching, I have two main objections as regards being obliged to complete:  Unit standard (21204 version 5)   Develop adult learners' literacy and numeracy skills within a workplace training or education programme . 1. Unit standard (21204 version 5)  specifies, in the  explanatory notes, point 9, that:  "a workplace training or education programme  . . . excludes a specialist literacy and/or ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) programme" and that: "Embed literacy and numeracy skills development  refers to teaching and learning of literacy and numeracy within the context and tasks of another subject or skill, e.g. panel-beating"   Clearly, since I teach ESOL, it is wrong that I should be required to complete this unit standard, indeed I  may not . ESOL teachers are specifically excluded from complet...

I interpret the above as an invitation to create a framework - one that addresses adult literacy and numeracy and that suggests how that might be houses within and education programme.

Description includes a comparison of four adult literacy and numeracy definitions currently used in Aotearoa New Zealand. Range: definitions include one for Maori (from either Te Kawai Ora or Professor Mason Durie's speech 2001 to the Hui Taumata Matauranga Maori), one for embedded literacy, one for numeracy, one other adult literacy definition, which may include but is not limited to Whakatipuranga Arapiki Ako report. I work in the  English Language Centre (ELC).  The programme we  teach is the New Zealand Certificates in English Language (NZCEL). That is set by  the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA).  I admit to being hazy on the acronyms. All I feel that I need to know is that I teach English for people needing and/or wanting to use that language in order to reside in New Zealand, or who wish to continue their tertiary education in an English-speaking environment, possibly with a view to settling in an English-speaking country at some future...
