English Speakers of Other Language (ESOL)
Holy Trinity Community Centre offers free ESOL courses for local women. Working with our partner Tameside College, our courses are at pre-entry level and unaccredited. They are suitable for women with little or no English and who may be unable to access formal education.We work to build confidence in speaking, listening, reading and writing English and develop study skills in a friendly and welcoming classroom setting. We work to help make learners ‘college ready’ in a community venue where they feel safe and comfortable. Our curriculum is informed by the needs of the learners and we work to embed skills for everyday life, connect people to services and develop confidence and self-esteem. Recent topics have included;
-
Financial literacy
