ESOL Enrichment

110 ESOL students and their teachers headed off to Bridgnorth to celebrate the end of another successful year. Students from all classes were invited to come together in the castle grounds and share a picnic. The staff had created a town treasure hunt that involved students using their English skills to navigate maps, follow directions and then answer a set of questions.

Adult Education Wolverhampton's ESOL courses support students with more than developing their own English Skills. Students are encouraged to build relationships with others, develop their confidence, resilience and problem-solving skills. The ESOL teachers also ensure that students' knowledge of the local area is embedded within their classes to promote integration. Some students are already thinking of taking their family and friends to places they've been introduced to throughout the course.

"It's really important that students get a chance to use their English outside of the classroom whilst also learning about the local and wider area around Wolverhampton. Enrichment opportunities like this add so much value to our students' learning. It is always humbling to see them all come together to share food, memories and talk together."
