Challenges & Adjustment

Challenges faced by learners
1. Low language proficiency
2. Low confident level due to low
self esteem
3. Concerned over being able to
complete the training due to
other responsibilities at
school/home
Adjustments to the training
recommended
a. Lesson to be communicated in
basic English
b. Trainer needs to clarify by
asking questions to ensure
understanding
a. Provide encouragement
b. Share how other learners who
had similar problems were able
to successfully complete the
training
a. Try to see if a solution may be
found to alleviate their solution
b. Should prepare to provide
flexibility for learners with
genuine situational problems.
E.g extra time to complete take
home projects or assignments

1. Give example of what types of delivery approaches/methods you

may recommend and why would you recommend them to suit
the profile of your learners?

Discussion: To clarify learning

Role-play: To match learning to workplace activities
Group Activities: To foster peer learning or team learning
Individual Exercises: To reinforce learning

2. What are some of the training resources (may include written

resources as well as materials) required to support your
training? What are they used for to support the training? Does
having these tools guarantee effective training?

a. Facilitator Guide
This guides the trainer on how to conduct the training. It may
contain notes and tools such as lesson plans, instruction to
learning activities and suggested answers.

b. Learner Guide
This is at times also referred to the course notes, they are
provided to the learner and guides the learner through the
content of the lesson

c. Lesson Plan
Lesson plans may consists of specific instructions to the trainer
on how the lesson may be concluded

d. Video / CDs
Related to lesson content and learning activities where
applicable

These tools does not guarantee effective learning as the learners still
requires a facilitator to answer enquiries and guide the learners
through a thinking process.

3. How do you know when there is a need to adjust training

programme to meet learners’ needs?

By observing the learners’ body language, their voice tonality when

replying. Learners’ emotions stability would be a good indicator for
programme adjustment too.
