English for Speakers of Other Languages

English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) is a field focused on teaching English to individuals whose first language is not English. It aims to help learners improve their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills so they can communicate effectively in everyday situations, work, and education. ESOL programs often adapt to different proficiency levels and cultural backgrounds, providing tailored instruction to promote linguistic confidence and integration. The goal is to foster linguistic competence while respecting learners’ diverse experiences, enabling them to participate fully in English-speaking environments.
