  • a set of knowledge questions
  • a project where you plan, organise and deliver one 30-min session to a group of eight (8) or more learners (during training)
  • a project where you plan, organise and deliver two consecutive, 40-minute sessions to a group of eight (8) or more learners (in your workplace)
  • a project where you plan, organise and facilitate workplace learning for an individual (on two separate occasions)

 


Assessment Tasks

A comprehensive assessment document with all requirements will be provided at the commencement of classes and uploaded to the Canvas shell. This section will just provide a high-level summary of the assessment tasks. This unit is delivered as a clustered unit with TAELLN411,TAEDEL401, TAEDEL402, and BSBCMM411.  

LLNAssessments

Assessment Task 1: Knowledge Questions  This assessment task provides you with an opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge of the unit by answering open-book knowledge questions. The knowledge questions address your understanding to identify language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) requirements of training and the work environment. There are four sections of the questionnaire for you to complete. 
Assessment Task 2: Case Studies The case study assessment consists of five tasks, each identifying learners with LLN needs that you must be addressed. You will need to identify LLN needs and select the appropriate instructional and assessment strategies that address the identified LLN needs. You will work with an LLN specialist to customise learning resources and delivery.
Assessment Task 3: Address LLN in Vocational training delivery This task aims to help you consolidate and apply what you have learned in this program to your training and assessment practice. Therefore, you will select a vocational training topic relevant to your industry or area of expertise and provide evidence of delivering one or more training sessions to a learner group in which you select and use strategies that address identified needs in one or two core skills—Learning, Reading, Writing, Oral Communication, Numeracy and/or Digital Literacy.
