Course Overview
Designed for students whose first language is not English, this course will give you an opportunity to improve all aspects of your English including speaking, listening, reading and writing. You will also have the chance to study maths, personal and social development and ICT alongside English.
What you will Study
The course covers all aspects of the English Language and you’ll study a range of interesting and engaging topics such as holidays and travel, education, hobbies and free time. You’ll also develop your skills in grammar, vocabulary building, conversation, pronunciation, reading, and writing through detailed practice.
How you will Learn
You’ll learn through a variety of classroom-based and practical activities including class discussions, interviews, role play, and speaking tasks.
How you will be Assessed
You’ll be assessed through classroom assessments, practice exams, regular homework, tutorials, and external tests.
Entry Requirements
No formal entry qualifications but you should show you’re prepared to give
your full commitment to the course.
You’ll have an initial ESOL assessment before you join the course to make
sure you’re put in the appropriate group at a level suitable for you.
A basic level of English is required in all skills and this will be assessed
during your interview.
Attendance Expectations
Usually attendance is over three days, but this is subject to change.
A typical week consists of 12 hours English Language teaching, 2 hours of ICT
and 2 hours of maths and one hour of employability skills development.
Further Study
After finishing this course, students have the opportunity to progress to
other courses that we offer within the College.
Alternatively, students may attempt to seek employment opportunities with
greater confidence in their language skills developed on the
course.
