English for Speakers of Other Languages. (ESOL) learning and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) is supported within Edinburgh College in two separate curriculum areas – College-based ESOL and ESOL within the community. Our College-based ESOL delivery provides progression for students through ESOL and into vocational college courses, higher education or better employment. English language and employability skills are at the centre of these courses with many full-time courses also offering vocational units to help bridge the gap for learners as they move into other subject areas. College-based ESOL also works closely with the College’s International team to deliver a wide range of accredited and bespoke English language and teacher training programmes both in the College and in-country.

A strategic forum was established in the region in October 2017, led by the College and meeting on a monthly basis. Edinburgh, East Lothian and Midlothian councils have contributed to an audit by the College of ESOL delivery in the region using SFC credit-based funding methodology. This forum devises a service level agreement to ensure that data sharing and planning of ESOL delivery across the region is efficient and effective. The dive...

The ESOL element of the partnership aims specifically to address the language and cultural inequalities that people who do not have English as a first language may face.

College Regionalisation Dundee as a city has strong ambitions for its citizens and the surrounding region that it serves. The highly ambitious waterfront development will transform the infrastructure of the city, bringing inward investment, tourism and jobs to the wider region. This transformation will require skills and education services in order to succeed. The merged Dundee and Angus College will contribute to that success and has significant ambitions for both the institution that will be created and the learners that it will serve.

The relationships and articulation routes with Dundee and Abertay Universities will be strengthened by enabling more students within the College to progress seamlessly to higher education programmes.
