Facing the Challenge brings together experienced tutors, managers, and researchers to examine foundation learning for adults in Aotearoa New Zealand. Edited by John Benseman and Alison Sutton, the book covers literacy, numeracy, English for speakers of other languages, information and communication technology, and teaching in different settings, including polytechnics, community organisations, and workplaces. It also considers international approaches and the experiences of learners often described as second-chance students, with particular attention to Māori and Pasifika perspectives. Combining research, practical examples, and reflections from the field, this collection provides useful guidance for educators, programme leaders, students, and anyone involved in supporting adult learning and participation.
