Back to events list
ESOL and Literacy – what can we learn from each other? Friday 6 March 2009 at Freemen's Park Campus. Leicester College. 2008 – 2009 sees an increasing focus on embedding, employability and skills in further and adult education. In the context of changes in policy and funding for ESOL, and less clear distinctions between ESOL and literacy provision, we aim to continue the discussion about what knowledge and approaches are shared by ESOL and literacy specialists and about what makes them distinct. Our speakers and workshops highlight some current developments and approaches, and offer a chance to explore the implications of the changing shape of provision for teaching, and for teacher education. Welcome by Maggie Galliers, Principal of Leicester College. Speakers - James Simpson - University of Leeds and Melanie Cooke - Kings College London - Helen Sunderland and Pauline Moon - LLU+ London South Bank University - Alastair Pearson - Ofsted Workshops led by Pam Frame and Nora Hughes -Institute of Education Jennie Turner and Anne Greenall - Greenwich Community College Joanna Williams - Tower Hamlets College To view the workshop details and book your place please complete the application form and return to National Centre.
