ESOL Level 1
Our ESOL Level 1 courses teach learners new skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing.
ESOL Level 1 courses teach learners how to:
- Speak to different people in familiar and unfamiliar situations, such as: education, training, work and social roles.
- Follow and understand the main ideas of a conversation, understand the explanations, ask questions, ask for more information, make comments, give their opinion, listen to others and compare options and offer different suggestions.
- Develop their independence skills in reading and understanding different texts on a variety of topics and be able to find information from different texts such as: descriptive, instructional, explanatory and persuasive texts.
- There will be opportunities to look at a variety of functional tasks like writing real-life texts, where you will clearly communicate information, ideas and opinions using different formats such as: forms, records, emails, letters, narratives, instructions, reports and explanations.
- Increase knowledge of grammar, develop spelling strategies and memory techniques as well as independent learning and study skills.
People learn in different ways, so our tutors use a variety of activities. These include:
- Group work
- Pair work
- Class discussions
- Quizzes and games
- Tests and assessments
- Spelling strategies
- Homework
- Reading tasks
- Grammar resources
- Learning records
If learners require additional support or other ways of learning, tutors will be able to help with these as well.
This course can lead to our ESOL Level 2 courses, or progressing on to Functional Skills, GCSE, or other academic paths.
