Description
Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) plans to deliver on-line English Language learning for up to approximately 2000 Ukrainian guests, Afghans (ARAP/ACRS schemes) and Hong Kong/ BNOs as well as those Asylum Seekers who are eligible for education and/or have received their status, over 18 months who are resident in the UK under these schemes, and who are living across the county of Oxfordshire in both urban and rural settings. The learning from this may be extended to other groups.
This contract is commissioned by the Oxfordshire Migration Partnership whose strategic aim is to maintain an Oxfordshire refugee and asylum migration system that ensures a warm welcome for all new arrivals and embraces and supports independent living for those staying in the county. Fundamental to this aim is ensuring new arrivals have the English language skills they need to live independently, navigate systems here and secure good employment opportunities.
The service is required to address, support and make significant impact on the acquisition and improvement of English Language, speaking, reading writing and listening skills, with a particular focus on improving employment prospects (for adults in and for 16-19-year-olds attending school or College) and the use of 'technical English' (i.e. the use of English technical terms related to specific professions and workplaces e.g. medical, childcare, construction etc).
This service will be provided alongside face-to-face ESOL classes which will be delivered across Oxfordshire. The aim of this service is to provide ESOL lessons to those who can complete self-guided learning in their own time, to reach as many people who would benefit from this learning as possible.
