Hi,
This year, one of my Entry 3 ESOL students is an Arabic first language speaker and a refugee. (I have their permission to contact you.) The student was, in their home country, the head teacher of a secondary school of over 1000 pupils for ten years. Regarding potential career opportunities in the UK, as a first step I have suggested going to Wolverhampton University careers office for some advice. Obviously the student's knowledge of English needs to improve up to Level 2 or beyond. However, what further advice might you give to such a student (who has so very much to offer)? Do let me know your thoughts, which I'll pass on.
Thank you,
Philippa
