  1. LEARNING ENGLISH IN OXFORD PRE-ENTRY ESOL

  2. Pre-entry ESOL in Oxford • Pilot in 2016, and feedback from the Refugee, Asylum-Seeker Coordination Group highlighted: • Location is key • Provision of childcare voucher and travel passes • Embedded learning; orientation activities • Longer courses; more contact hours • ESOL partnership to link up learning pathways for students

  3. What has worked? • Location & learning environment • Course design • High progression: 9/13 on to Entry 1 • Orientation activities • Linking to volunteering • Attending community events • Celebration event for students
