This ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) Pre-Entry course is designed for students with little or no English skills. The course aims to improve your English skills, focusing on basic communication, literacy, and numeracy. We want to give you the language to help you go to higher-level ESOL courses and to communicate well in everyday situations.
This is not an exam based course. Your English skills will be assessed and developed through a folder of work and the use of an ILP (Individual Learning Plan). Your evidence, or work, - which you produce as you progress through the course - will be gathered in and marked by your tutor.
To be eligible for this course you must be 19 or over on 31st August prior to the course start date.
Before you start this course you need to come to an interview and talk to a tutor to help you choose the right level of course. You can bring a friend or supporter along to help you with this.
