ESOL
Classes for adults aged 19+ who do not have English as their first language.
ESOL learners practise reading, writing and speaking and listening to support life in the UK. We also look at grammar and punctuation at levels from E1, E2, E3. L1 to L2. These classes can help you with finding a job, being part of our community and teach you employability skills. They also help you learn about Britain, it's laws, values, diversity and culture.
We run courses from Beginners to Level 2. These classes are exam classes, and you will be entered for exams when your tutor feels you are ready.
We also run tailored learning courses that do not have an exam. The tailored learning courses can prepare you for starting an exam course or if you are looking to improve your English for daily life, then these are the courses for you.
View our curriculum plan below to take a look at the progression pathways within the ESOL curriculum. If you are unable to read this document and require further information, please don't hesitate to contact your local Adult Learning Centre who will be happy to discuss through it.
