Has communication technology impeded the acquisition of literacy skills or have we dumbed down? - Karen

Texting in teaching/looking at its use as another language
Looking at NEETS (Fast track students) 400 possible students of whom 70 will be taken as a sample/or possibly a class – L1/2/3 students at vary academically
Triangulation: Questionnaires/interview of 5 from target group/observation Also past documentation + initial assessments – Distance travelled
Comparison of 11+ achievement in 40/50s and 90/00s
Will possibly use materials from 11+ to test 16 year olds
Peer input/questions: Could it be functional skills not literacy skills –possibly. Suggestion made that there is a project at Kingston College linked to the tutorial system which could be of interest.
