Summary

This ESOL-specific award takes inspiration from a rights-based approach to language that sees the provision of language education to all members as a right that enables them to participate equally in society. Drawing on theories of participatory pedagogy and recognising the needs of learners who may have literacy and trauma related challenges, the philosophy of the course informs all aspects of its content – from classroom organisation to the focus on the real–life needs of the learners. The award is structured to facilitate flexible learning and professional development. Each of the three modules features two days of face-to-face learning at our Cardiff campus, with the remaining sessions delivered online.

Modules are taught one at a time. The usual schedule will be: - Participatory approaches to the ESOL classroom: February

  • Three days of online delivery

  • Two days of face-to-face workshops (Cardiff Campus)

  • The Politics of Migrant Language Education: March

  • Three days of online delivery

  • Two days of face-to-face workshops (Cardiff Campus)

  • Teaching Basic Literacy and Trauma Informed Pedagogy: April / May

  • Three days of online delivery

  • Two days of face-to-face workshops (Cardiff Campus)

This delivery pattern is designed to foster an effective learning community and professional network for students, while facilitating students already employed full-time in this area, for whom employers may fund continuous professional development. The modules are taught through interactive workshops consisting of short lectures, activities, and discussions.
