About this course

Free Level 2 ESOL Skills for Life (speaking and listening) Course in Lambeth. Classes run at Lambeth Adult Learning, part-time during the day. You'll need a Level 1 ESOL Speaking and Listening qualification, or an equivalent level confirmed at initial assessment, before you start. The course runs for 96 hours and focuses on spoken English in everyday situations: job interviews, community life, and social settings. These level 2 esol skills for life (speaking and listening) classes are taught in a classroom, at a pace that works alongside other commitments.

Who this course is for

This course is for adults who do not speak English as a first language, but has a basic command of the language with limited vocabulary.

Entry requirements

You will need to complete an initial assessment before registration on the course. You must have achieved a Level 1 ESOL Speaking & Listening qualification (or equivalent), prior to the course or score at working towards Level 2 in your initial assessment.

What you will learn

  • You'll communicate clearly in job interviews and workplace conversations.
  • You'll take part in discussions about everyday topics in your community.
  • You'll listen and respond accurately in formal and informal situations.
  • You'll use appropriate language when speaking to different audiences.
  • You'll build vocabulary for work, study, and social settings in the UK.
  • You'll develop confidence speaking in structured and unstructured situations.

How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom-based activities including group discussions, role plays, and listening tasks. Assessment for the Pearson Edexcel Level 2 Award in ESOL Skills for Life (speaking and listening) is through observed speaking and listening tasks. Your tutor will assess your spoken English directly, so there is no written exam for this qualification. All learning takes place in the classroom at Lambeth Adult Learning.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Lambeth Adult Learning will confirm anything else you need before you start.
