The Ascentis Level 1 Award in Volunteering to Support English Language Teaching and Learning is designed to equip volunteers with the essential knowledge and skills to effectively support ESOL learners in a variety of settings. The course covers understanding the role of a volunteer, safeguarding responsibilities, and promoting social engagement to help learners integrate into their community.

Participants will explore how to plan and deliver activities that support speaking, listening, reading, and writing, while developing awareness of common learner misconceptions and challenges. The course also introduces the basics of teaching grammar and language structures, providing practical strategies to assist learners with different experiences of literacy and English language acquisition.

The course is held at The Old School House on Wednesdays and Online on Fridays.
