The Intensive Literacy and Numeracy Fund – English for Speakers of Other Languages (ILN – ESOL) supports the intensive provision of high quality, fees-free ESOL literacy and numeracy learning opportunities, to help adult learners gain the literacy and numeracy skills needed to progress to further study or the workplace.
More particularly, the ILN – ESOL fund supports the provision of fees-free ESOL programmes to adult refugees (including protected persons) and migrants who are pre-literate learners or learners who have very low levels of English language and literacy. Pre-literate learners are those who need exposure to the purposes and uses of literacy.
We fund intensive literacy and numeracy provision to:
raise adults’ literacy and numeracy skills
increase opportunities for adults to engage in literacy and numeracy learning, particularly for those in low-skilled employment, and
improve the quality and relevance of provision, including the ability to identify learner need and learning gain.
The TEC determines and allocates ILN funding through the Investment Plan process.
