Contributions towards rethinking the ESOL curriculum
There is broad agreement that a new approach is needed to the delivery of adult ESOL in England. In this session, we will consider new ways of thinking and explore some new approaches to the delivery of learning in the ESOL classroom. The session will foreground participatory learning, reflective practice and other ways of creating new opportunities in the classroom and beyond. This event will take place in Sheffield city centre.

ESOL Lunchtime Showcase, 14 May 2024 12:00
ESOL for migrant health professionals
In this session, we explore the possibilities for supporting migrant health professionals who are looking to work in the health sector in the UK. English competence in professional context needs to be demonstrated, most usually through either the Occupational English Test (OET) or IELTS. Which is best? In both cases, the costs can be prohibitive and people often need support towards achieving their goal. In this session, we will explore this area and ask how ESOL providers – both community sector and FE/AE institutions – can support forced migrants towards employment in health professions.
