About this course

Free Level 2 ESOL Skills for Life (Writing) Course in Bedford. Classes run at Bedford College, part-time during the day. The course runs over one year, giving you time to develop your written English at a manageable pace.

What you will learn

  • You'll write clearly structured sentences and paragraphs for different purposes.
  • You'll organise and sequence your ideas in a logical way.
  • You'll use correct spelling for a range of common and topic-specific words.
  • You'll apply punctuation accurately, including full stops, commas, and apostrophes.
  • You'll adapt your writing style and tone for formal and informal contexts.
  • You'll plan, draft, and check your own written work.
  • You'll write for practical everyday situations, such as letters, emails, and forms.

How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom-based sessions at Bedford College, working with a tutor and other learners. Sessions focus on written tasks and exercises that build your skills step by step. Assessment is through written tasks set by the English Speaking Board. You'll complete these tasks to demonstrate your writing ability at Level 2. There is no spoken or listening component in this qualification; it focuses entirely on writing.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Bedford College will confirm anything else you need before you start.

What you could study next

Once you have your level 2 esol skills for life (writing) qualification, you could move on to a Level 2 ESOL Skills for Life Certificate covering reading and speaking alongside writing. You might also consider Functional Skills English Level 2, which is the recognised GCSE English equivalent and is accepted by many employers and further education courses. From there, a Level 3 qualification in your chosen subject area becomes an option.
