ESOL courses with Dominic (ESOL 1 and 2 online and face to face)
Topics in the course focus on the everyday lives , interests and experiences of the students. As well as this we cover topics of wider significance, for example immigration and politics in the UK. In recent courses topics have included travel and transport, nature and the environment, education and comparing on-line and face to face learning. In general I create my own materials or work in an unplanned (but structured) fashion and I am always willing to 'go off plan' to meet the needs and interests of students.
ESOL courses with Adela (ESOL 3 online)
Our online class focuses on building community and meaningful connections among students and teacher, whilst exploring themes central to students lives, and collectively learning language. Due to the fact that those seeking asylum in the UK are often moved from one place to another, the online nature of the class ensures that students can keep participating despite being moved to different locations. The class creates a space for students to share their views, experiences and feelings; bringing them closer together as they learn from, support and make each other laugh. We use open ended activities, which encourage discussion and provide space for students to share what is most important to them, whilst developing their fluency and ability to engage in conversations. Our teaching technique is one that draws on students' existing knowledge of the language, and enables students to share it with others, thus promoting learning and consolidation. A sense of togetherness, connection and humour fills the classes, even as we tackle themes that can be deep, painful and personal.

Dominic
I have been teaching ESOL since 2008 in a wide variety of settings, maininl in the community but also in some colleges. I have taught a wide variety of level from Pre-Entry to Level and I also have significant experience of teaching ESOL basic literacy to student who cannot read in their first language. I. enjoy creating a sociable and welcoming atmosphere in the classroom since I feel this aids effective learning. I find language fascinating - both English and other languages and it is always interesting to learn from my students. I greatly enjoy meeting people from all over the world. I have 3 subject specific teaching qualifications and in future I would like to gain the DELTA qualification.
