English for Speakers of Other Languages / English as an Additional Language

The National Support Project (NSP) for English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) / English as an Additional Language (EAL) aims to enhance support for ESOL learners and the EAL sector. The objectives of the project are to:

• Increase capacity through promotion, dissemination of information and innovative practice
• Improve and enhance learning and teaching by sharing and extending good practice
• Provide advice and support to help providers reach and maintain the Quality Mark Standards

A key feature will be the building of networks throughout Wales to share practice and ideas as well as to disseminate information. ESOL and EAL practitioners are encouraged to contact the NSP to become part of these networks.
