This project aimed to develop the digital skills of Entry Level 2 ESOL learners to enhance their life skills, and support delivery of their online ESOL programme.
The project aimed to develop visual resources and learning methods to support learners' understanding of instructional language, with a focus on digital terminology.
ESOL and ICT tutors worked collaboratively to develop an annotated graphical glossary of digital terms. It was hoped this would improve understanding, and long-term memory retention, giving learners the confidence to use terminology fluently and consistently. The tutors reported that once the language barriers were removed, learners were surpassing expectations and confidently able to take responsibility for their own learning.
