Literacy and ESOL in London Outcheuma Ezekiel

Introduction “Literacy is generally for people whose first language is English and who need to develop their reading and writing” “ESOL is specifically for people whose first language is not English and need to develop reading, writing, speaking and listening” …but there are different literacies, e.g. financial, digital (NIACE Pilot) (talent, London, July 2006)

‘Differences’ between literacy and ESOL Literacy student: ‘Amanda’ English speaker Single parent Failed exams - no qualifications TA in school ‘Stuck’ Work role made her re-think Still learning the structure at the same time as producing letters and reports Confidence issues: ‘I’m going to leave.’ (difficult educational history) ESOL student: ‘Matteo’ - GCSE level achieved in Spain Not just learning a ‘language’ but learning a new ‘culture’, maybe even new ways of thinking Highly literate and able Focus on language development – underlying literacy and structure in place What’s ‘bric-a-brac’? Synonyms

Who are the learners? The background of individual learners is key Personal profile and ILP very important (meeting individual needs) Learning approaches/styles, e.g. some learners creative and others more analytical Personal experiences – strengths and also barriers. Used in the teaching and learning: relevance and engagement. Case studies from NRDC report

Where is it taught? FE Colleges Community Centres
