Course Aims – What you will learn

This course aims to teach English to speakers of other languages to Entry 2 – Entry 3 levels of speaking, reading, writing, and listening. Students will develop skills and confidence with recognising letters and reading and writing. Students will develop their confidence in reading, writing & speaking in everyday life. Students will learn letter recognition, spelling and using English in day-to-day life. Students will also develop your writing skills and covering new vocabulary and grammar at this level.

How you will be taught, and your understanding checked

Your tutor will work with you to understand your comfort level at the start of the course and helping agree a learning plan for you to get the most out of this course. In class, your lessons will be delivered through a mix of whole class teaching, small group activity and open discussions to encourage the sharing of ideas and teamwork: all supported by your tutor. Students will develop their confidence in reading and writing, improve their spelling, learn basic grammar, and improve their English in day-to-day life. Your tutor will encourage you to develop your confidence in communication through a range of situations and provide feedback to ensure you are getting the most from the course.

Progression – What you will be able to do next

Following the successful completion of this course, we intend for each student to be able to maintain their developed English skills and improved sense of self-confidence and wellbeing. Students could go onto enrolling for a higher standard English or ESOL course and work towards developing their skillset and confidence with English. Or they could also enrol on other courses, such as 'Preparation for GCSE English' or one of our accredited ESOL courses and earn a real qualification. If space is permitting, you could also re-enroll onto ‘English’ next term and further practice those skills you will have already developed. Alternatively, you can be supported to look for work or volunteering opportunities.
