What will I study?
The course gives you the chance to build on previous general education or ESOL qualifications at a lower level. You will learn to understand how language works and how to use English to get across information and ideas.
You will study a wide range of different types of texts in different media. This course will let you communicate, think critically, develop cultural awareness and be creative.
The course has two compulsory units, plus an added value unit that assesses your practical skills.
ESOL for Everyday Life
In this unit you will:
develop language skills needed for everyday life in familiar personal, social and work-related settings
develop skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking using straightforward English language.
ESOL in Context
In this unit you will:
develop language skills needed for routine work- and study-related settings
develop skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking using straightforward English language (this unit can be adjusted to meet your personal needs).
Added Value Unit: ESOL Assignment
In this unit you will:
explore and report on a chosen topic, verbally or in writing, and respond to questions on the topic.
How will I be assessed?
Your teacher or tutor will assess your work on an ongoing basis throughout the course. Items of work might include:
practical work – reading, speaking or listening to texts
written work – producing straightforward texts or reports.
You must pass both units to gain the course qualification.
