A New Approach to ESOL

Live Date: 19/06/2009

The Department for Innovation Universities and Skills (DIUS - now DBIS) published its report, A New Approach to English for Speakers of Other Langages (ESOL) on 7th May 2009.

This report builds on the responses made to the ESOL consultation from last year and from the changes to ESOL funding introduced over the past two years to make sure that people able to pay for training do so and that Government funding is focussed on those people most in need of help.

Key to this policy's success will be identifying priority groups at the local level. Local authorities, the Learning and Skills Council and local colleges and training providers will work with other community groups to identify the most vulnerable people in their neighbourhood who need to improve their English skills. Using their knowledge of local demographics, migration and employment patterns, local partners will identify people who are not currently accessing provision and consider how to overcome the barriers preventing them.
