9 English for Speakers of Other Languages

If your English tests indicate you are having difficulties understanding English you will be required to take this course (9ESL or 9ESA) or you may be placed in the reception class (9ESR) for more intensive English study.

This course is designed for students from a non-English speaking background. You will build on your English language learning for school subjects, community use and for communication with your classmates. The units of work will cover all areas of the English syllabus: reading and writing; speaking and listening; presenting and viewing. Taking ESOL will help you succeed in the rest of your subjects!
