ESOL and Functional Skill learning, teaching and resource platform can be personalised for any type of learner following a functional skills pathway. The ESOL and Functional Skills elements within our platform is an integral part in helping any training provider or business in their delivery of English and Maths to their staff, apprenticeships or adult learners. Our ESOL and functional skills platform includes an initial assessment stage where the individual will need to complete initial and diagnostic assessments to demonstrate the level they are currently working at. This will provide your provision with the evidence required to assess if support is required.

               

Our Initial & Diagnostic Assessment for ESOL individuals

At the initial assessment stage, the EDLounge learner will need to complete initial and diagnostic assessments to demonstrate the level they are currently working at. The results from both assessments EDLounge with any significant gaps in the learner’s knowledge. This information is then used to successfully provide teaching, learning and resources at the appropriate level for each learner. The EDLounge tutor/assessors will support the learner by providing the tools to enable them to:

• Apply their knowledge and understanding in relation to everyday life
• Engage competently and confidently with others, while demonstrating positive attitudes and behaviours to life, learning and work
• To be able to confidently solve familiar/unfamiliar work and life-related problems

Using our ESOL and Functional Skill platform, learners can access content at any time, and develop their knowledge and understanding to improve their literacy, numeracy and digital skills. The platform is an effective tool to provide:

• A comprehensive range of lessons that address language, literature, numeracy and digital skills for different levels
• Personalised numeracy, literacy and ICT pathways that are mapped to the Functional skills specifications
• A platform that learners can use in their own time

• Puzzles and quizzes to develop learners’ numeracy, literacy and digital skills
• Interactive e-learning content, allowing learners to study key Maths and English topics at their own pace
• A positive, motivational learning environment which encourages learners to learn independently
• Targeted learning pathways that help develop your learners’ knowledge and understanding (which correspond to your internal assessment strategies)

With employers in mind, reformed English and maths qualifications have been designed to better equip individuals with the skills required to succeed in the workplace. Feedback from employers was taken on board by the Department for Education as part of their consultation on the proposed subject content. As part of this, they have introduced more of a focus on spelling, punctuation and grammar without dictionaries, using times tables and working with and without a calculator. These changes will empower learners to use English and maths more confidently in the workplace which our ESOL and functional skills package can instantly improve your workforce. 

Our ESOL resources are currently being used in two huge multi-national logistic and distribution hubs throughout the United Kingdom following our approach and our model.
