Skill Overview

The 8-week programme covers a range of English language skills, contexts set out in the Adult ESOL Core Curriculum and the appropriate levels of the National Adult Literacy Standards. The units for ESOL are available at  Entry level 1 and Entry level 2

Learning Objectives

The delivery of ESOL Entry Level 1 and Entry Level 2 has a transformative impact on learners, equipping them with the foundational language skills necessary for social integration, independent living, and employability. 

1. Increased Confidence in Communication – Learners will develop the ability to express themselves clearly and confidently in both verbal and written English, enabling them to participate more actively in everyday conversations and interactions. 

2. Improved Social Integration – By fostering an understanding of the cultural aspects of the English-speaking world, learners will gain the knowledge needed to engage meaningfully in their communities, reducing social isolation and enhancing their sense of belonging. 

3. Enhanced Practical Literacy Skills – Learners will develop essential reading and writing skills required for navigating daily life, such as understanding public signs, completing forms, reading simple documents, and following written instructions. 

4. Better Employability Prospects – By introducing key workplace communication skills, learners will be better prepared for employment opportunities, including understanding job advertisements, completing job applications, and engaging in basic workplace interactions. 

5. Introduction to Digital Literacy – Learners will acquire fundamental digital skills, such as using online tools for communication, searching for information, and navigating digital platforms, increasing their ability to access services and employment opportunities. 

6. Greater Independence in Healthcare and Wellbeing – The ability to understand and communicate about health-related topics will empower learners to seek medical help, follow health advice, and make informed decisions about their wellbeing. 

7. Development of Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking Skills – By using English to analyse and respond to real-life situations, learners will build their ability to navigate challenges independently, enhancing their problem-solving skills. 

8. Stronger Community Engagement – Learners will gain the language skills necessary to interact with public services, participate in community events, and handle everyday enquiries, fostering a sense of independence and active citizenship. 

9. Increased Self-Confidence and Motivation for Learning – By setting personal learning goals and developing self-study strategies, learners will build confidence in their ability to continue developing their language skills beyond the classroom. 

10. Preparation for Further Learning and Progression – ESOL Entry Levels 1 and 2 provide a strong foundation for learners to advance to higher levels of language proficiency, further education, or vocational training, supporting lifelong learning and career aspirations.
