ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) Courses at DCG

English for Speakers of Other Languages – Improve your language skills

If English isn’t your main language, a course at Derby College can help you to develop your reading, writing, listening and speaking skills.

Get more out of life in the UK

Our English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) options are an excellent choice if you want to study further, enhance your CV or apply to become a British citizen.

You will also develop vital skills which will help you in everyday life – making it much easier, for instance, for you to talk to doctors and teachers, to help your child with their homework and to understand the laws and customs of the UK.

An ESOL course at Derby College can help you to improve your speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. Classes – which range from pre-entry to Level 2 – are held in the mornings, afternoons and evenings. You will study for six hours per week: two three-hour classes. You will also have the opportunity to gain a nationally recognised qualification in ESOL.
