abstract |
This paper examines the current use of simplified language materials (SLMs) by primary
and secondary teachers across England. Drawing on a survey of 33 schools the paper
examines the degree to which teachers and support teachers currently use simplified
language materials and the reasons they give for their usage. It discusses both the
contradictions and similarities between teachers' perceptions of the value of SLMs
and the existing research base. It focuses on current national guidance, the role
of SLMs for people with learning difficulties and research that encourages the use
of complex materials and bilingual support, contrasting this with teachers perception
that SLMs increase both access and comprehension. The paper suggests that we should
not expect teachers to abandon SLMs but should find ways to use this skill base to
enhance the education of all. |
