English Language Programme

“I started studying an English Language Programme at Coleg Menai. It involved different subjects including speaking, reading, listening and writing. Being on the course gave me so much more confidence. I’m currently studying the Level 3 Certificate in Essential Skills Practitioners (ESOL) at the college and I’m really enjoying it! As part of the course I’m supporting an Entry Level 2 course within the ESOL department. It’s always been my dream to become a teacher and in the future I’d love to work within the ESOL department to be able to support others.
The tutors are so supportive, caring and are very sensitive towards the different cultures. I couldn’t have done any of my courses without their support and I’d like to thank all of the tutors and the programme area Manager for everything.
