ESOL Entry level conversation

About this course

The course centres on spoken communication for daily-life situations, with practice in listening, conversation and pronunciation. Grammar, reading and writing may be used during lessons but are not the main focus. Teaching takes place face to face, with progress considered through class conversations, observation and teacher feedback. Learners may also receive homework and are encouraged to practise through English-language media and conversations outside class.

Is this course right for you?

This course is intended for ESOL learners working in the UK or actively seeking work, and for people planning to live in the UK permanently. It requires a very basic knowledge of English to begin communicating, so it is not intended for learners with no English who need a Pre-Entry class. Participation involves face-to-face conversation practice.

• Learners may be asked to complete homework between classes
• Additional practice through English-language television, radio, podcasts, videos and conversation is encouraged

Before you go
