Description:

Embedding numeracy, literacy and digital skills into the ESOL SOW, by Rachel Oner

ESOL teachers in Further Education classes need to embed many topics into their courses including British Values and equality and diversity. Some vitally important subjects to embed are numeracy, literacy and digital skills in order to prepare our learners for life and work in the UK. This session will focus on how to look for opportunities within your ESOL schemes of work where these topics naturally occur. We will examine how meaningful activities can be created to ensure learners have sufficient opportunities to develop their knowledge and skills in these key areas.‘
