Have fun learning English
English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)
Learning English is not something which follows a formula; all classes and all learners are different! Moreover, as it is about learning a language – there is a lot to be covered: reading skills, writing practice as well as lots of talking and listening to each other to improve understanding and provide opportunities to gain confidence!

FUN Learning a language is a rewarding experience and while there is lots of hard work, there is also lots of fun to be had. ESOL teachers will have lots of ‘tricks up their sleeves’ to make learning exciting and consolidate the teaching. This could be games such as word jeopardy, speaking snakes and ladders or online / interactive quizzes such as Kahoot and Quizlet. In some classes you will even see the students getting up and active with all-round skills exercises such as a running dictation! 34
