ESOL

For the purposes of naturalisation "sufficient knowledge" of both the language and life in the United Kingdom could be met either by attaining or already being at ESOL Entry Three on a first or subsequent assessment and then taking a citizenship test; or by making progress in the lower ESOL language levels which would contain an integral programme of studies about life in the UK.

Learners' educational and employment backgrounds are often highly diverse. Even within one teaching group, these backgrounds may range from people with no previous education or employment at one end to highly educated professionals such as doctors or university lecturers at the other. Many learners already speak and write several languages and can use this knowledge to support their learning.

Some ESOL learners have left their countries unwillingly. Some are suffering from culture shock and are experiencing practical difficulties in specific areas of their lives, or racist attitudes and behaviour. Learners are settling in the UK and will probably want to learn about the country's systems, such as education, how to apply for jobs and rules concerning immigration.
