While there is any amount of writing about what differentiates between effective workplace literacy, language and numeracy (LLN) programmes and their less effective counterparts, only a fraction of this writing is based on original research studies (Ananiadou, Jenkins et al. 2003; Ananiadou, Emslie-Henry et al. 2004; Gray 2006). Most of the literature (see for example, The Conference Board of Canada 2005) is based on surveys of opinions (usually employers’) or simple post-course evaluations.
This article outlines which factors enhance the effectiveness of workplace LLN programmes based on detailed evaluation findings from 18 workplace courses run in New Zealand companies.
