INTRODUCTION

If you are an English Language tutor, you will already be setting work to meet the AS/A2 specifications. It is possible to tie this work in to meet the criteria for Key Skills subjects. This has a number of advantages ...

• Your own workload is not significantly increased. • The student's workload is not significantly increased, if at all. • The student's experience of the subject is enhanced. • Students are unlikely to resent doing the work, as they will see it as integral to their AS/A2 qualification. • Students gain extra credit for work done as part of their AS/A2 course.

Two birds killed with one stone!

The following pages outline an exercise to use in the classroom, which meets criteria for both AS/A2 and Key Skills Level 3 Communication. You will be presented with the notes for the exercise first, followed by handouts and exercise instructions to download, print and hand out to your students.
