Functional Skills English qualifications at these levels indicate that students should be
able to speak, listen, communicate, read and write clearly, accurately, confidently and
with effectiveness. The course will aim to develop skills to:
• Listen, understand and make relevant contributions to discussions with others in
a range of contexts;
• Apply their understanding of language to adapt delivery and content to suit
audience and purpose;
• Read a range of different text types confidently and fluently, applying their
knowledge and understanding of texts to their own writing;
• Write texts of varying complexity, with accuracy, effectiveness, and correct
spelling, punctuation and grammar; and
• Understand the situations when, and audiences for which, planning, drafting and
using formal language are important, and when they are less important.
Students should be able to use these functional skills autonomously, applying them to a
range of formal and informal contexts, in the workplace and in real life.
