Title: Integration through language learning  

We ran a one-year ESOL provision that is concerned mainly with those who have low levels of literacy skills in their first language. For those adults with minimal or no schooling experience, the need is primarily centred on their lack of literacy skills (including English language), often complicated by the fact that many are not literate in their first languages. Not being literate in one’s first language has considerable implications for learning literacy skills in a second language.
