ESOL For Integration Fund (EFIF)

The ESOL For Integration Fund (EFIF) provides two strands of additional support for developing the English language skills of non-native Bolton residents:

  • Formal ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) classes.  
  • Social mixing opportunities enabling Bolton residents to use their English more.

 

Formal ESOL classes

Formal ESOL classes are for learners who are new to ESOL; they will benefit from:

 

  • Experienced qualified teachers.
  • Materials and teaching strategies to support lower level learners.
  • Small community settings, close to the learner.
  • Online support for learning.
  • Support for developing digital skills.
  • Clear progression routes to mainstream ESOL classes at Bolton College.

Please view our class list and dates here.
