Pre-Entry ESOL: Confidence for English

The aim of the course is to improve the English language skills of learners with low levels of English, enabling them to get more involved in their community, access services and understand opportunities available to them.

While motivations and purposes for learning vary according to the individual, the course aims to motivate learners to pursue further language study by providing a positive and engaging learning experience and helping learners to acquire some basic practical language skills that they can use in everyday situations, such as introducing themselves, asking for directions, or making simple requests.

Our course is tailored to the needs of learners with low levels of English proficiency. The five modules are designed to give a taster of language learning and build confidence in everyday interactions in English by allowing learners to practice English in a supportive and structured environment.

The course will also give learners a taste of what to expect in a full ESOL course, including teaching methods, classroom environment, and learning materials as well as offering an opportunity to meet other learners, which can lead to forming study groups or making new friends with similar learning goals.

The following topics will be covered in accessible, bitesize sections with full support from a friendly tutor: friends and family, food and shopping, the local area and life in the UK. Guidance on further learning opportunities will also be given.
