  2. Introduction to provider reports In Summer 2018 the LESP commissioned a piece of work to summarise and explain post-16 provision and progression pathways for ESOL students, their parents and carers. As part of this project, the opportunity was taken to identify those colleges and training providers delivering post-16 ESOL courses to young people aged 16-19, and to explore their individual offers. This publication has been funded by the LESP and written by Lisa Tryhorn, Connexions Leicester City, in collaboration with education providers who have kindly given their time to describe a snapshot of their course delivery in 2017-2018.

  3. General note on post-16 ESOL courses While describing course delivery in 2017-18, all providers were careful to explain that each academic year is different; there is variation - in the numbers of students enrolled, students’ first languages, personal circumstances and prior education. City students can apply to any city ESOL provider, although in reality they may select the college they live nearest to, to which they can travel most easily or that at which a friend or relative has studied. Students attending college three days a week may spend some of the remainder of their time doing a part time job, undertaking work experience, or helping to care for a family member – e.g. parent or siblings.

  4. Course levels Education providers use the ‘Functional Skills’ framework to deliver and assess achievements in English, maths and ICT. Learners’ prior education and achievements will be taken into account, but students are always formally assessed to ensure the course level at which they begin their studies helps them achieve a higher level of literacy and numeracy. The image shown on the next page will explain use of functional skills terminology in the provider reports. It is often the case that students will be working at different levels, for example working at Entry Level in English, but Level 1 in Maths.
