This paper discusses practitioner-led UK action research into ways to support learning in low-skill, low-pay workplaces, including how to help migrant workers learn English. The research, carried out between 2003 and 2011, consisted of four loosely linked projects. The first (2003-4) developed a bitesize curriculum for workplace language coaching. The second (2005-9) explored the potential of work activity itself as a vehicle for language learning. The third (2006-10) examined ways to motivate and enable operational managers to support workplace learning, while the fourth (2010-2011) investigated how to utilise informal peer learning for language development at work. Taken together, findings from these projects suggest a practical model for learning in low-skill, low-pay workplaces.
