OCNW training events
|
Date posted: 22 December 2008
OCNW is planning to run a series of training events for centres in February
next year. We have a comprehensive portfolio of ESOL qualifications and to compliment this we are increasing the amount of support we provide to our centres.
The events will be delivered by experienced practitioners and will focus on different aspects of teaching and learning and aim to support tutors in their continuous professional development. Existing OCNW centres and new centres
are all welcome.
The events will take place in the following locations:
- York - Tuesday 10th February 2009
The Royal York Hotel
- Manchester - Wednesday 11th February 2009
University of Manchester
- London – Thursday 12th February 2009
The Russell Hotel
Each event will run from 10am until 4pm and will be divided into two sessions:
Part 1: Citizenship & ESOL
This session will look at the key immigration issues facing ESOL learners, tutors
and providers in the UK. There will be an examination of routes to citizenship
for Indefinite Leave to Remain and naturalisation before looking at how
citizenship can be integrated into ESOL programmes
Part 2: Using Functional ESOL for Work-Based Learning
This second session will look at how to recognise the needs of the employer and to identify the language skills necessary for ESOL in the workplace. There will be a demonstration of how using a genre based approach can support ESOL teaching in the workplace, before looking at ESOL for Work qualifications and the bigger picture.
An OCNW accredited certificate of attendance will be awarded to each delegate that
attends the events.
Places on the event cost £50 per delegate for OCNW ESOL centres and £60 per delegate for all other centres.
