You will be assessed at two different levels (e.g. Entry 1/2/3 and Level 1/2); 240 hours of input which will extend your knowledge of methodology and language and will cover areas of general learning theory and issues relating to FE.

There will be 10 written assignments, one of which will involve researching an area of language or methodology and giving a 15 minute presentation on it using ICT. There is also a numeracy assignment that involves addressing students' numeracy needs in ESOL lessons. It is expected that you will spend at least 300 hours on reading, lesson planning, reflection and research.
