Courses are available for 19+ who have English as a second language. Learners will improve their general knowledge of the English Language and work on improving their reading, writing, speaking and listening skills.

These courses have been designed to help learners, whose mother tongue is not English, to settle into the life in the UK. Learners will be taught a variety of topics in accordance with their individual learning journeys. The aim is to teach learners how to communicate effectively in English covering all three elements  (speaking and listening, reading and writing). The courses are delivered at a higher and a beginner’s level.

By the end of these courses, learners will be able to (at the appropriate level):

• Show an understanding of simple words and phrases used in everyday conversational and familiar contexts
• Ask simple questions and respond appropriately
• Understand face to face speech/words in spoken British English
• Write simple sentences using learned vocabulary
• Recognise and find important information in life-skill materials related to their need
• Use appropriate body language to clarify and complement their spoken language
