They will allow for progression across the levels of the national qualifications framework at entry levels (1, 2 and 3), level 1 and level 2. The qualifications are offered by ESOL awarding bodies from September 2004.</p> <p>The new Adult ESOL core curriculum, published in December 2001, is based on the national standards for adult literacy developed by the QCA in 2000. Its publication follows national consultation with teachers and managers of ESOL programmes and relevant national bodies.</p> <p>The ESOL curriculum offers a framework for English language learning. It defines in detail the skills, knowledge and understanding that non-narrative English speakers need in order to demonstrate achievement of the national standards. It provides a reference tool for teachers of ESOL in a wide range of settings, including further and adult education, the workplace, programmes for the unemployed, prisons, community-based programmes, and family learning programmes.</p> <p>The latest information is available at <strong><a href=http://www.dfes.gov.uk/readwriteplus/esol>www.dfes.gov.uk/readwriteplus/esol</a></strong></p> Adult ESOL Core Curriculum/New ESOL SfL Qualifications 2004 24/09/2004 16:36:00 http://www.talent.ac.uk/dtrainingsearch_details.asp?DocumentID=298 Adult Literacy Core Curriculum <p>The new Adult Lliteracy Core Curriculum is central to the adult basic skills national strategy.

All of the key pro formas which make up the ILP are NCR sheets (No Copy Required) and this enables both the learners & tutors to keep their own copies of the same documents without needing to make photocopies. Copies can be put back together when amendments or additions are made. The key pro formas are also available for tutors to download from the college network and print multiple copies where learning goals are the same for groups of learners. All learners are given a slim, light weight ring binder to keep their copies of the pro formas in as well as an optional learning record and diary - yellow for ESOL learners and green for basic skills. This whole document, in effect, is the ILP. We ask learners not to use their ILP ring binder for any thing else e.g. hand outs, worksheets etc. and for learners to bring it to college every day. This enables any tutors or advisors working with a learner to contribute to the same ILP, share information easily and build up a comprehensive profile of each learner's current programme and their learning journey. For further information, please see the attachments and the tutor guidelines.

History Talks The Ragged School Museum’s buildings once housed London’s largest school for poor Victorian children. Find out what life would have been like for the children who attended the school in a fascinating illustrated talk. Our talk, which lasts forty minutes, is suitable for groups of all ages, from family history societies, social history classes, U3A & WI groups and students studying education or social history. The Museum’s lively session covers the history of this Ragged School, which was set up by Dr Barnardo and opened in 1877, and its impact on the local population. Bring a group to a talk and you’ll have a chance to sit at a real old desk, see pictures of children who attended the ragged school and hear about the lessons that they were taught. There will also be an opportunity to look around the Museum’s galleries and visit the café and shop. Sessions can be booked for any weekday from 2:45pm onwards, at a cost of £4.00 per head. Some other times may also be available. Talks take place in the Museum’s reconstructed Victorian Classroom. Please contact the Museum on 020 8980 6405 if you would like to book a session.

We have used illustrations to depict the descriptors from the curriculum – using photos and hand drawn images.The aim is to enable students with little or no English to grasp the ideas on the ILP. It can be used as a learning tool. Hopefully when learners progress to the next level (and ILPs without pictures), they will understand some of the concepts and language. The ILP is has been desk-top-published into its final format. We are using the ILPs in all our Beginner/E1 classes.

The project aims were: To help a small cohort of jobseekers aged 18-30 in Tower Hamlets find work. To recruit two Jobcentre Plus advisers and a specialist language training provider to work intensively with these jobseekers to build their confidence and improve their English language fluency to enable them to enter the labour market. There were three specific elements to the Work Talk programme: ·The recruitment of two dedicated advisers to work intensively with the jobseekers, to build their trust, to motivate them to attend and complete an innovative, English language programme focused on the world of work; ·The delivery of an English language programme, delivered by a provider new to Jobcentre Plus, focused on the communication skills required for work; ·Work tasters/work experience.

Thomas Danby College offers IT classes for ESOL learners. From experience we have found that our ESOL learners struggle and often fail when progressing onto mainstream IT classes such as CLAIT. Here is a barrier in educational progression which we proposed might be surmounted with a bridging class. ‘Moving on …’ was developed for this purpose: to prepare ESOL learners for progression to CLAIT classes. The tutors developing the course were keen to marry a traditional paper-based delivery of learning, as typical to mainstream IT classes, with interactive discovery learning. The student workbook acts as a roadmap to many computer-based learning activities. Many of the activities, for example, allow trial and error learning. Discovery learning such as this removes the passivity of traditional paper-based learning, making the learning experience more enjoyable and less difficult. The learner is allowed to make mistakes in a virtual learning space, in the privacy of a 1:1 ratio with the computer, and eventually find the answers without recourse to a tutor.The shift from passivity to interactivity engenders autonomy and hence confidence.
