Amharc ar fhreagraAll of the 16 Education and Training Boards (ETBs) offer English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) training, as part of their adult literacy provision, to meet the day-to-day social, cultural and work-related language needs of migrants/refugees.
All ESOL provision is free, and caters for all competency levels of learners, from beginner, to intermediate, and advanced.
