What engaging literacy tasks look like between CGEA I, II and III

A VALBEC (Victorian Adult Literacy and Basic Education Council) Professional Learning session presented by Stephen Robertson.

VALBEC presents another great Professional Learning Session presented by Stephen Robertson.

This presentation is designed for you to understand literacy task development across CGEA levels I, II and III, whilst highlighting task complexity, appropriate terminology, and useful tools you can utilise throughout the process.

We will be looking at what types of terminology are used for each of the 3 levels. We will then be analysing the reading, writing, and oral structure of tasks aimed at the 3 different levels.

With understanding the structure used, we will then be reviewing some example tasks for reading, writing and oracy across the 3 levels. After this, we will be discussing ways you could create and deliver more engaging and well thought out tasks for your students. Finally, at the end, we will be recapping the key points about literacy tasks at each certification level, task creation, terminology used, and tools we could use to create a more engaging classroom experience.

Stephen has been teaching CGEA for over 6 years at all 3 levels. He started off as a graphic designer, then studied and worked in the IT internet security field. He then studied a diploma in community services which allowed him to learn about the CGEA and VCAL educational field. He started to then work as a support worker whilst going back to university to do a double degree in health sciences and secondary teaching. Whilst studying this course from 2018 onwards, he started to teach CGEA units and when he completed in 2021, he then started to teach CGEA full time. 

We look forward to seeing you there.
