Thanks Judy - it certainly does make interesting reading. We need to publicise, promote and develop our ESOL Strategy at this crucial period. We have set up a Twitter account for it - @ESOLEngland - thank you everyone who's following and retweeting us, but we need a lot more followers. We're following as many ESOL practitioners / organisations who are active on Twitter as we could find but need many more. So all you ESOL tweeps out there please follow us - we do follow back any relevant accounts but it would help us identify you if you include #ESOL or #LoveESOL in your ESOL related tweets. If you use Twitter in your ESOL classes it would be lovely if your Learners followed / tweeted to us e g suggestions for what they would like to see in the strategy / successes / highlights / concerns / images from their classes etc Thanks in anticipation. Celine #LoveESOL? please follow ESOLStrategy @ESOLEngland ________________________________ From: ESOL-Research discussion forum and message board <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of Judy Kirsh <[log in to unmask]> Sent: 24 February 2017 15:34 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: House of Commons briefing on ESOL Dear all I thought members of this list might be interested in the research briefing paper on ESOL that has just been published, available at http://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/CBP-7905 This briefing provides information on English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) for learners aged 19 and over in England, including current current provision and funding, past funding changes, and recent reports. It also provides information on the Government's community-based English language programmes. There is a link to the full report which makes interesting reading - it refers to recent reports on ESOL, including NATECLA's 'Towards and ESOL Strategy' document.
