Conversations with educators about research in and relating to further education in the UK. Academics, practitioner researchers, postgraduate students, teachers, lecturers, support colleagues, research and campaign organisations - we welcome everyone behind the mic. We are particularly keen to raise the profile of those working in the sector who are engaged with edu research and our allies in academia, all with something to say about the powerful role played by FE in shaping peoples’ lives and our communities. We chat with those undertaking small scale enquiry relating to their practice right through to professors, policy makers and practice influencers. We sometimes venture outside of FE and see what life is like for educator-researchers in other phases of education or get creative and chat with poets and artists. As PhD students and full-time teachers / educators ourselves, we usually have something to say about what we have been up to. We also love nothing more than an end of podcast game with our guests! Feel free to get in touch and join the conversation. Keep the discussion going on X (formerly known as Twitter) @FEresearchpod, on instagram @FEresearchpodcast or search #FEresearchpodcast. You can also find Jo hanging out on LinkedIn and BlueSky. She’s rather a fan of an instagram reel (she has not yet ventured to Tik Tok, something we can all be grateful for). Alistair is more likely to be found at the editing desk or wielding a mic and camera. You can find out more and get in touch via: https://linktr.ee/feresearchpodcast

Angie Lenton, English Teacher/Co-ordinator at Northampton College, teaches GCSE English. Angie taught Functional Skills and A Level English Language and is also an ITT mentor and guest teacher specialising in literacy and dyslexia. Angie has been a GCSE examiner for 4 years and is passionate about helping students with dyslexia and those with dyslexic traits to achieve.
Angie joined us to talk about her ETF funded OTLA project aimed at helping students who find it difficult to engage in, or get anything from, GCSE extracts. It’s a way of collaborating with vocational teams to help them get a better understanding of what GCSE English is all about too. Angie’s research had to change gear once lockdown hit. Hear all about her work here.
