* Adapt content so that it feels practical, meaningful and clearly linked to vocational studies for construction students.
* Use effective assessment and feedback strategies to stretch and support learners regardless of their starting point, while managing and positively channeling challenging behaviour.
* Support students to develop the English skills they genuinely need for employment, further study and sustained career success.
