A new ESOL solution for Wales<\/span><\/h1>\n

How can Strategic Migration Partnership teams enable migrants based in rural locations to start learning English in a convenient way so that they can make the progress they need to find work?<\/span><\/p>\n

The ESOL Coordinator at the Wales Strategic Migration Partnership was looking for a new way to help Hong Kong British National Overseas learners develop their English skills with the aim of getting them into work and giving them a sense of belonging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the Hong Kong British National Overseas learners lived in rural locations, it was challenging to find a solution whereby they could offer face-to-face class. The team started researching options for the group to learn online at a relatively low cost. One learner even joined the programme before they\u2019d moved from Hong Kong to Wales, and kept learning both pre, during and post-move from one country to the other!<\/span><\/p>\n

Developing a pilot at speed on a small budget<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

During our<\/span> webinar<\/a> they were delighted to learn that we could offer them a pilot scheme to help the 21 Hong Kong British National Overseas learners to develop their English skills using our interactive online courses<\/span> \u00a0Journey 2 Basic Skills <\/a>and Journey 2 English<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

Our courses are <\/span>tailored for migrants and geared to develop their English skills, knowledge about the UK and skills to boost their employablity.<\/span><\/p>\n

There’s also a diagnostic English Skills test that each learner takes at the beginning to ensure they start at the right point for their level. It all helps to personalise their learning experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through subsequent conversations, we developed a pilot scheme to help the 21 <\/span>Hong Kong British National Overseas <\/span>to boost their English skills using our courses within budget.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Our<\/span> Sales Director<\/a> worked with the team to ensure that the pilot scheme was competitively priced. This resulted in the project getting up and running quickly so it could be used as a low-risk, low-cost case study to test its effectiveness.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
