Abstract:

This project seeks to conduct an investigation and evaluation of the pedagogical approaches adopted in the acquisition of English language literacy for low-waged, low-skilled adult learners of English in Singapore. The research focuses on the pedagogical approach undertaken in the curriculum and training programmes that have been delivered under Singapore’s Workplace Literacy Programme through the approved Workplace Literacy Training Providers, and further determines the pedagogical approaches which would be most effective in enabling low-waged and low-skilled adult learners to acquire English literacy and meet programme outcomes.
