This text covers the different methods through which PTLLS is delivered, helping candidates to study more effectively. It helps candidates:
-prepare for the award, with advice on interpreting the skills needed for PTLLS and the requirements at levels 3 and 4
-make the most of their taught sessions and self study time by examining effective note taking, group activities, research and resource evaluation
-succeed in their practical sessions, including tips on effective presentations and the use of ICT
This text is a companion title to the bestselling Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector core text providing an essential introduction to all the key aspects of the PTLLS Award. It cal also be used alongside Passing PTLLS Assessments. Together, these texts provide complete coverage of the qualification, helping candidates with all aspects of their study and practice.
An excellent book, full of information that will be so useful to students undertaking PTLLS. It has a very readable and engaging layout. I like the added part about Harvard referencing which will be a good point of reference for the students.
I have recommended this book to staff who are teaching on PTLLS courses as I think it is an excellent resource for them when planning assessment.
Not a favourite text although will be useful for candidates who have no background or history of studying in the LLS
Didn't think it would enhance the learners we work with. our own course material is of equal quality.
The book is a good support tool for those returning to study, whether PTLLS or an alternative qualification as there are many useful hints and tips. The content is delivered in a supportive manner that sets the standards of what to expect at this level of study. The chapter regarding reflective journal writing will benefit any learner undertaking the course as this is often a difficult concept to master.
An excellent book for anyone completing the PTTLS Award. It is well written and easy to read. Lots of useful activities and recommended websites for further study. Useful chapters which students can dip in and out of. Well recommended.
Incorporates common-sense advice for the novice adult learner
