This project was commissioned by the Department for Education and Skills and the Home Office and managed by NIACE and LLU+ at London South Bank University.
The aim of these materials is to:
■ support teachers in developing learners' English language skills;
■ support teachers in developing learners' knowledge of life in the UK;
■ support application for citizenship.
The materials are designed for ESOL learners working towards Entry 1, 2 or
3. They have been piloted with a range of ESOL providers.
Principles of good practice:
Course content should be learner-centred and course delivery should be learner-friendly in terms of teaching methods and assessment. Authentic and local materials should be used wherever possible and materials should be current and relevant to learners.
The materials in the pack have been referenced to the Adult ESOL Core Curriculum. Additional materials produced locally should also be referenced where possible.
Learning should draw as much as possible on the learners' own knowledge and experience so that learners will feel engaged, peer teaching can take place, active learning is encouraged and individual experience is acknowledged and valued.
