Help EAL students gain a qualification in English and raise their attainment across all subjects.

By improving their English skills at school, students whose first language is not English stand a much better chance of achieving better all-round results.  

ESOL allows you to help build the confidence of your 14+ learners to progress into employment and further study.

ESOL is available for 14+ students at Entry 1-3, and at Levels 1 and 2.

Unit 3 (Reading) at Levels 1 and 2 of ESOL is assessed using the National Adult Literacy test. 

View practice tests and related documents for Entry 1-3 or Levels 1 and 2, including guidance and mark schemes.

ESOL speaking and listening standardisation material is also available for you to use. The Skills for Life team has put together a small sample of recordings using Edexcel's practice tests, sets 1 and 2. Each recording can be played while you consider the assessed paper, its mark scheme and the Lead Verifier's commentary.

All Edexcel’s ESOL qualifications are designed to assess the learning set out in the ESOL Core Curriculum. The online version of this is available via the Excellence Gateway.
