“Most teachers provide lessons and activities that enthuse learners. In classroom-based lessons they use a wide range of techniques to support learners who are finding the work difficult, by for example helping them devise mnemonics to remember important technical terms. Teachers draw on their extensive industrial experience to devise activities that help learners develop the skills they need to gain employment or progress to higher-level training.”
