Course description

The Pre-Entry ESOL Speaking and Listening course at the WEA is designed for adults who are new to English. This beginner-level course helps you develop essential speaking and listening skills to communicate confidently in everyday situations. You will learn useful vocabulary, practice common phrases, and engage in simple conversations such as greetings, asking for directions, or making small talk. The course is delivered in a supportive environment, with experienced tutors guiding you through various activities aimed at improving your fluency and comprehension.

No prior knowledge of English is needed, making it perfect for those just starting their language learning journey. Upon completion, you'll have the foundation needed to move on to higher-level ESOL courses and gain more advanced communication skills.

Bring a pen and paper, if you have it. The only other thing you need is a positive attitude and a desire to learn. We will help you with all the rest.
