This revised edition builds upon the initial work of the 1998 edition by linking the information about the way language, literacy and numeracy have been incorporated into Training Packages with implementation, delivery and assessment issues. This edition takes the 'givens' from the first edition (the training reform agenda, the NQF, training packages), and explicitly illuminates the connections between teachers of language, literacy and numeracy (workplace communication skills trainers), and how Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) and enterprise RTOs can work together to provide inclusion of these skills with training package delivery. Chapters 1-4 cover some of the same themes as the first edition but with more detail or tips on how teachers, trainers and assessors can come to grips with training packages and their responsibilitiles to language, literacy and numeracy (LL&N) within them. Chapter 5 covers customisation of training packages and the roles that language, literacy and numeracy professionals can play in successfully achieving this. Chapter 6 is an excellent case study of an LL&N practitioner in a workplace with lots of practical examples on needs analysis, planning, delivery and assessment, as well as the broader consultancy role these practitioners have to offer within the organisation - all of this without compromising principled adult education principles of relevant, context based material and delivery practices. This is a must read for all LL&N professionals moving into workplace practice as well as RTOs delivering workplace training packages.
