QIA Skills for Life Improvement Programme has created a new set of three films that demonstrate ways in which Skills for Life is taught in three different contexts. The films focus is on how literacy, language and numeracy (LLN) skills can be developed alongside vocational or other subject areas and therefore in a context of direct interest and relevance to the learners.

1. Construction with embedded ESOL
2. Literacy for sport
3. Numeracy for kitchen design

The three films will be particular interest to teacher trainers as they provide a rich resource for promoting discussion and reflection on effective teaching. They will also be of interest to staff teams or individuals, whether they are LLN specialists or vocational teachers who have a similar interest in developing their own skills and knowledge.

The films have sub-titles and also an auditory navigation option and are available on a single DVD. An accompanying booklet explains the background to the films, provides the session plans and extracts from schemes of work, and poses some questions to consider during or after viewing.
