We invite you to join us for our third Regional Networking event of 2025.
The focus of this session is on training opportunities to become an ESOL teacher, and professional development opportunities for ESOL practitioners in our region.
The routes taken to becoming an ESOL teacher can be many and varied, and accessing specialised training in this area can sometimes be challenging. The sector itself is also diffuse, with many people coming to the delivery of learning through experience, through volunteering or through teaching in other sectors. NATECLA recommends that ‘everyone teaching English to speakers of other languages should be trained as a specialist teacher of ESOL’. In this session we will discuss this recommendation, as well as exploring the regional routes available to specialist training, and the resources available to help people access them. We will also highlight work being done across the region to increase access to training and boost our capacity to deliver high quality ESOL learning.
There are two sessions that you can join, according to when you are available. The morning session is 10.30 - 12.15, and the twilight session is 4.30pm - 6.15pm. Click on the relevant link below to register.
