ESOL
NCG has been providing ESOL lessons to refugees and asylum seekers for over 10 years. Volunteer teachers and helpers worked together with students to develop their speaking, listening, reading and writing skills in English in order to facilitate their integration into UK society and their settlement in this new land that they now call home. The ESOL team have adopted a hybrid method of teaching and learning for students’ ongoing development of their 4 language skills.
