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. To register\, you must use an organisational email address associated with an approved ESOL centre. If you’re a registered Centre and haven’t received a registration email\, please contact the Quality team at assessment@gatewayqualifications.org.uk for the registration link. \nIf your organisation is not yet approved to deliver ESOL qualifications\, please contact us to find out more about becoming an approved centre.
