The Standard Grade ESOL tutor, Intermediate ESOL tutor and Higher ESOL Tutor Course has been designed to provide candidates whose first language is not English with the opportunity to obtain an appropriate qualification in English for Speakers of Other Languages.

In Scotland today the need for social inclusion of all communities is a priority which reflects a national commitment to supporting diversity. It is also a priority because Scottish society is composed of different groups and individuals, many of whom have come to live or work in Scotland, bringing with them a wealth of other cultures and languages. Social inclusion comes about when individuals and communities work together to ensure that all members are accepted and can function effectively as citizens. This can only happen when all members of the community have access to progression routes in education and employment.

The path to both of these progression routes becomes easier when the individual is competent in communicating in English. For those members of the community whose first language is not English, it is therefore very important to have opportunities to learn English and develop their ability to use the language in personal and social, work and/or study contexts. While there are many different Courses for those who speak English as their first language, these do not meet the needs of those for whom English is not their first language. This is because they do not focus specifically on developing candidates’ English speaking, writing, listening and reading skills in the context of daily life.

The English for Speakers of Other Languages Tutor Course offers certificated progression for candidates who seek to develop and enhance their skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening in English. It provides an opportunity for candidates to demonstrate language competence. This Course will develop their ability to participate as citizens in Scottish society. The ESOL Tuition Course focuses on skills in English which may allow progress to further study of English for Speakers of Other Languages Courses or other courses in schools or in further education colleges.

ESOL students can study the Units on a freestanding basis or complete all three Units to achieve the Standard Grade ESOL, Intermediate ESOL or Higher ESOL Course Award.

The aims of the ESOL Tutor classes are to allow candidates to:
♦ Develop their level of competence in the skills of speaking, writing, listening and reading in English
♦ Begin to develop an understanding of how the English language works
♦ Develop confidence in interacting with others in a variety of contexts
♦ Begin to develop their linguistic knowledge of specific aspects of work and study in contexts where English is the medium of communication
♦ Prepare to take a more active role as citizens
