Written by a collective of experienced Further Education and Skills (FES) English teachers, and curated by Kayte Haselgrove, the book brings together decades of classroom insight, speaking directly to those working with learners who are disengaged, demotivated, or simply struggling to meet the demands of gaining English qualifications. The contributors draw on their diverse experiences across the UK to examine the wide range of factors that can hinder success - from confidence and identity to prior educational experience. Every chapter offers experience and theory as well as actionable 'takeaways' - ideas that can be applied immediately in the classroom to re-engage learners and support meaningful progress. Rather than isolating issues such as SEND or mental health, the book weaves inclusivity throughout, recognising that these factors are inseparable from everyday teaching practice. It is designed to be read cover-to-cover or can be dipped into as needed, making it both a reflective companion and a practical toolkit. Ultimately, this book is about students and teachers rediscovering their purpose. It reminds us that while exams matter, the true goal of teaching English is to empower learners to think, express themselves, and navigate the world with confidence

Kayte has worked in the FES sector since 2009, starting with a career in tutorial and pastoral care, before moving in to teaching functional skills and GCSE English and leading maths and IT. Kayte has held a number of roles across several general and specialist FE colleges, including advanced practitioner for English, English subject leader, head of department for English and maths, aa well as head of teaching and learning and teacher training. Through her business, EduKayte, she has provided professional development at colleges across the country, representing organisations including the Education Training Foundation as a National Lead for English. Kayte is now programme lead for the post-14 FE and skills ITE programmes at the University of Derby where she has been employed since 2021, taking a lead on the specialist English pathway, inclusion, behaviour and wellbeing, and supporting an 'outstanding' Ofsted rating in 2024. Alongside this main role, Kayte is a co-editor, research convenor and co-chair for the Learning and Skills Research Network (LSRN). Kayte is currently studying for a PhD in education, exploring resistance to patriarchal norms in further education. As well as being a fellow of the ETF and of the Higher Education Association (HEA), she holds external examiner positions for FES ITE programmes at several universities.

Why haven't they passed yet? Teaching literacy for social mobility in the Further Education and Skills sectorbrings together the experiences of expert practitioners to share the lived reality of teaching English in FE. This book is not about getting your students to pass their resits. Rather, it reframes the question in the title as a much richer and productive provocation: what do students need from you to develop meaningful literacy? This collection positions FE literacy teaching as central to social justice. It will resonate strongly with practitioners seeking thoughtful, evidence-informed approaches to supporting learners beyond the narrow goal of exam success.Rebecca Fisher
