Functional Skills English - An Introduction - Online Course - Community Learning - 09:30-11:30

About this course

This 4-week course aims to help adults gain confidence in their reading and writing skills.

This is taught in line with the adult Functional Skills curriculum from Entry level 3- level 2.

• If you are new to learning English as a second language, an ESOL course may be more suitable for you and these are listed on our website.

You will receive a two-hour online group lesson with your tutor each week

This course will give a good insight into what is involved in our 19-week Functional English courses that lead to a City and Guilds qualification. These will begin in September  2022 and will be a good progression route from this short course.

A basic level of literacy is preferred and an interest developing your English skills.

By the end of the course you will be able to;

• Identify and correctly use adjectives and verbs
• Identify and correctly use text layout and some language features.
• Produce examples of your own writing that is descriptive, persuasive, informative and instructive.
• Feel more confident in your writing skills.

We will be using Zoom (a virtual video application) to present the course.  You will need to be able to access it ideally on a PC/laptop or tablet. You will need to be able to send and receive emails from your tutor during the course and these will contain links to the information you will need.
