ESOL

Want to improve your English and open up more opportunities for your future? Whether your goal is to study further, start a career, or feel more confident in everyday life, learning English is the key to unlocking your potential.

ESOL courses help you develop speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills in a supportive environment. You’ll also gain confidence using English in real-world situations, from work and study to life in Sheffield.

By studying ESOL at college, you’ll build the language skills you need to take your next step, whether that’s joining another course, starting a job, or connecting with your community.

EXPLORE YOUR LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Our students can study at our City, Fir Vale or Hillsborough Campuses, and regularly go on trips to Sheffield and nearby cities and towns.

Students will also get the opportunity to go on trips and visits in Sheffield and around the country. This year, our students have been to visit:

  • Yorkshire’s East Coast
  • Hull
  • Scarborough

These trips help when it comes to practising conversational English and the trips also help develop independence as students learn how to travel by train.

Khanda Faraj Quote

"Coming to the college has given me so much. When I arrived here, I couldn't speak the language. Now I've learnt English, made friends for life, travelled to Bali as part of an educational trip and improved my confidence."
