Manchester Communities - Community ESOL

Community-Focused ESOL Learning

At the heart of our programme is a strong focus on community. We understand the challenges of integrating into a new society, which is why our ESOL classes are designed not just to teach English but to help your transition smoothly into life in the U.K. Through our supportive learning environment, we aim to empower individuals to gain confidence and fully participate in their local communities.

Services include:

• Beginners / Pre-Entry Class : This class is for beginners with no English skills. The lessons are friendly, and you will begin to read and write simple texts and personal information
• Entry Level 1

• Entry Level 2 : You will start to build on your vocabulary, read adverts and short leaflets and write texts like emails for work.

• Entry Level 3 : Be a more confident English speaker and be able to read and write short texts like adverts or simple letters.

Before starting your ESOL course, please come in for an initial assessment to determine your current level of English. To maximise your learning experience, we recommend attending at least 85% of your sessions. If you have prior commitments during term time, notify your tutor in advance so we can help you catch up on missed sessions.

For Entry level 1 and Entry level 2, lessons will take place in Gorton Hub on Thursdays. Pre-entry lessons will take place in the Community Room on Brunswick Street every Wednesday morning.
