Department: ESOL - Northern College

ESOL

Moving to a new country can pose many challenges, among them being the language barrier. Learning a new language is undeniably tough, but it’s a crucial step to increase your chances of securing employment and forging new friendships within your new community.  

We offer several ESOL courses for people whose first language is not English, from those who are total beginners to others who may be a bit more advanced with their English.

The way the course was taught was highly beneficial, and a testament to the teaching, and the ability to put the various aspects across, in a manner that enabled us all to learn and understand.
