Language is our primary method of
communication. Therefore, any language barriers can cause difficultly and
misunderstandings to arise. English is one of the most commonly spoken
languages across the globe, with an estimated 2 billion speakers overall.
However, only an estimated 1,132 million of these are native English speakers,
showing the tremendous impact that learning English as a second language is
having worldwide. By taking part in our ESOL course at the centre, you are
instantly opening up the ability to communicate with a wider variety of people
across the entire world.
ESOL is an invaluable course to participate in, as English is commonly referred to as one of the most difficult languages to learn. This is due to the several types of pronunciation, the order of words in a sentence and the endless variations in the English dialect. Nevertheless, with the help of the brilliant teachers at the centre, the English language can be quickly understood. Covering the fundamental aspects of the language; speaking, listening, reading and writing, ESOL provides the skills to communicate with others and allows you the access to a whole wealth of new opportunities.
Having the expertise to speak more than one language instantly makes you a more employable candidate. People who are bilingual are said to have better workplace skills, with the increased ability to multi-task, problem-solve and be more creative and innovative. Having English as a second language not only increases job prospects, but it also provides many social and cultural opportunities. Improving your communication skills allows you to make new friends, explore new hobbies, discuss your interests with others and overall allows new opportunities to be discovered.
Furthermore, ESOL not only helps to improve language skills, but also allows both the students and teachers to interact. Our students have an abundance of knowledge and experience to share with the community, demonstrating how our teachers learn plenty of new things every day alongside providing their own knowledge for the students on the course. By delivering this course, the community is enriched with diversity, allowing people to communicate and interact when they otherwise would not have done. Our courses are extremely popular so please contact Kensington Community Learning Centre to join one of our ESOL courses and begin learning!
