  10. Learners on a Talk English Course Courses • For beginners • Take place in community settings • Taught by volunteers who are recruited and trained through the project

  11. Why volunteers though? • Enable us to engage with a greater number of learners with limited funding • Lack of funding at Pre-entry- enables us to plug a gap • Stepping stone into more formal learning • Involves the wider community in English learning • Benefits to volunteers
