How will the course benefit me?
This 15-week ESOL course from February 2021 to July 2022 is the first semester of a year’s course for people who do not have English as their first language and who have already done some learning at Entry 3 level. You will have a qualification at Entry 3 in Speaking and Listening and now wish to continue learning at Entry 3 to improve your reading, writing and your confidence to use English in life and at work. After this course you should continue to the second Semester (B) of 15 weeks until June 2022 when you can take an ESB ESOL Reading and Writing exam at Entry 3 if you have made enough progress.

What will I learn?
You will learn how to continue to improve your speaking and listening, reading, writing and
grammar skills needed for everyday life and employment at Entry 3 level. Your tutor will discuss
and agree with you any individual topics you wish to cover. You will also improve your IT skills, including learning how to use Google Education Suite, send emails, use online meeting platforms
and observe online meeting etiquette (how to switch your camera on and off, mute yourself, use the chat facility and interact online with your peers).

Career Opportunities
At the end of this course you may be able to progress onto the next level course, if you are ready and have made enough progress and your attendance, punctuality and homework are good. This may be a Level 1 ESOL course. Your tutor will discuss what the best course would be for you.

Assessment / Exam
During the first 2 weeks your learning and level - as well as your attendance, punctuality and commitment to learning - will be assessed to make sure this is the right course for you. If your assessment shows that you are at a different level, then your tutor will recommend the most
suitable course for you to transfer to. If your attendance and punctuality is not good then you will not be able to continue on the course.
During this course you will be assessed by your tutor to ensure you are progressing at the correct level. During this course your tutor will assess your work and skills through regular homework, tests, tutorials and observation. You will have an individual learning plan (ILP) that you will maintain with personal and group targets that you will be working towards
