SUMMARY:Making ESOL work for employers:  A practical progression model for FE colleges
DESCRIPTION:Many FE colleges work with learners who are already in employment\, highly motivated\, but held back by language barriers\, confidence and unfamiliarity with working life in the UK. Moving straight to Functional Skills English is often unrealistic and risks disengagement.\nIn this webinar\, Weston College shares how they partnered with Yeo Valley to create a more supportive starting point for ESOL learners working in factory roles\, building confidence\, practical workplace communication skills and a clear route into Functional Skills English. \nYou will hear directly from Weston College about: \n\nWhy Functional Skills was not the right starting point for many learners\nHow flexible use of qualifications supported speaking\, listening and confidence\nHow delivery was shaped around shift patterns\, onsite learning and employer needs\nHow learners progressed into Functional Skills including to Level 2\nThe benefits for the employer\, including progression into supervisory roles\n How this approach strengthened long term employer partnerships.\n\nYou will leave with practical ideas you can apply in your own provision\, and a clear understanding of how flexible qualifications can support learners from their true starting points\, rather than forcing a one size fits all model. \nRegister for the AoC Learning Week sessions here \nPlease note: This event is psrt of the AoC Learning Week and is run by AoC. Bookings can be made through the AoC website here \n\nAbout the Association of Colleges (AoC) \nThe Association of Colleges (AoC) is the national voice for further education\, sixth form\, tertiary and specialist colleges in England. It is a not-for-profit membership organisation established in 1996 by colleges\, for colleges. Its members represent more than 90% of the FE sector and support the education and training of around 1.6 million people each year.\n\n\nAoC Learning Week 2026\n\nAoC Learning Week 2026 is a week-long online CPD event designed to support staff working across the further education sector. Running from 29 June to 3 July 2026\, the programme focuses on teaching and learning\, wellbeing\, leadership and the key issues shaping FE today.

SUMMARY:Delivering and Assessing ESOL with Confidence: A Practical Guide for Tutors
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking to build confidence in assessing ESOL learners and gain a clearer understanding of what high-quality assessment evidence looks like? Join this practical introductory webinar designed for ESOL tutors\, assessors and centres. \nDuring the session\, we will provide an insight into how ESOL assessments are judged across Entry 1 to Level 1 Reading and Writing\, and up to Level 2 for Speaking and Listening. We will examine what assessors look for\, how learner evidence is evaluated\, and how consistent\, reliable assessment decisions are achieved. \nThrough practical examples\, real learner scenarios\, and interactive activities\, you’ll gain valuable insights into what good assessment evidence looks like\, how assessment decisions are made\, and the common mistakes that can affect learner outcomes. \nThe session will also cover effective learner preparation and the quality assurance processes that support reliable assessment\, including centre standardisation\, Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) and making best use of External Quality Assurance (EQA) feedback. \nBy attending this live session\, you’ll leave with greater confidence in interpreting assessment criteria\, making sound assessment judgements\, preparing learners for success\, and supporting accurate\, consistent and effective ESOL delivery within your centre. \nPlease note: \nThese live webinars are exclusively available to staff from centres approved to deliver Gateway Qualifications’ ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) Skills for Life qualifications.
