At present there are two language workers with ESOL (English to Speakers of Other Languages) training and experience with Scots literacy students. One worker concentrates on writing, the other on speaking and reading.
We have employed three bilingual outreach workers to enable participants to understand spoken and written English.
Whilst we work in groups at The Welcoming session, individual literacy work is done by the various workers outside the sessions. Most of this is related to accessing services. With regard to language, we can be seen as an additional support to the classes run by CLAN literacy tutors or ESOL workers, providing students with a wider opportunity to practice.
