Popis: This paper sets out some of the findings of an Oxford Brookes University research project on communication styles in post‐16 teaching. It shows how the communication styles of teachers on GNVQ programmes are different to those of teachers on BTEC or ‘A’ level programmes, being perceived by learners as higher in leadership and warm/understanding behaviours. The paper goes on to argue that, even in GNVQ programmes, there is little learner autonomy and that the challenge of new, more “connective” curriculum models needs to be faced, especially through the development of more communicative classrooms.
