ESOL and Citizenship

Everyone who wants to acquire British citizenship now has first to gain a qualification in ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) or taken the online 'Life in the UK' test. This book makes a unique contribution to the provision and practice of ESOL and citizenship for adults. The author is one of the best-qualified people to write such a book, having worked recently on a two-year ESOL and citizenship project. The work originates from the project findings and the pilot process undertaken with 18 ESOL providers. The author provides the political context in which the debates around citizenship, immigration and naturalisation have been ranging. After a critical discussion on terminologies and definitions, the book focuses on teaching and learning ESOL in the context of citizenship. The author advocates a learner-centred approach, and calls for tutors to use material and examples drawn from the local community.Taylor, Chris is the author of 'ESOL and Citizenship' with ISBN 9781862013124 and ISBN 1862013128.
