The screening package is a set of resources designed to help identify learners who may be new to ESOL as opposed to those who might join an Entry 1 ESOL class. This screening pack has been developed primarily for non-ESOL specialists. The guidance provides an overview of how to use the screening tool and some general information about the characteristics of learners who are new to ESOL.
The learner profiles are descriptions of real ESOL learners who are new to ESOL and Entry Level 1. The profiles contain samples of their writing, information about their background and details about their engagement in ESOL.
