ESOL materials for London Mayor Elections

NATECLA strongly encourages as many ESOL practitioners and students as possible to write to their London Mayoral Candidate about the importance of ESOL in their area. Here are some great resources for teachers working in the area from Action for ESOL to help you do just that:

In the build up to the Mayoral Elections ESOL (5th May 2016) has been put back on the agenda by Cameron’s comments about the need for Muslim women to learn English.

Action for ESOL thought it was important to bring this discussion into the classroom and give ESOL students a voice in making demands on their GLA representatives.

They have designed a pack of 6 lessons to use by ESOL teachers in London to start the discussion in their classrooms. They also want to make sure that students know if they are eligible to vote and how to do it. They will use the ESOL students’ demands to lobby the Mayor and the GLA members over the coming months.
