The ability to speak English is a very important part of working and living in the UK. When you are new to the UK it can be hard to find your bearings and this is can be made even harder if you need to learn to speak English.
The UK has a good reputation for education. Whether you are learning to speak English or seeking to improve your language skills, North Yorkshire has a range of services available to help you improve your speaking, reading and writing skills. There are many private language schools designed to help you to learn English but if financial constraints don’t allow you to learn English privately there are other options.
Children
Pupils who speak English as a second language may need further help to learn English from their school. The school will assess your child’s needs and may recommend further help. This is provided free of charge as part of your child’s education.
Adults
If you want to learn English or improve your English, there are usually classes held at local colleges which are often free. Your employer may arrange English classes for you whether at one of the centres or at your place of work. Your employer might also allow you to take time off work to attend classes. .
