Phoebe’s E2 Speaking and Listening class wanted to share their knowledge about healthy living, so they made a workout video. Put it on, pump up the volume and get fit with ELATT’s ESOL students!

On Tuesday 24 November 2015, Phoebe and Yvonne ESOL Entry 2 Speaking and Listening class wrote about ESOL cuts. They took photos and they put on twitter because they really need ESOL classes. They get a lot of help from ESOL.

We need ESOL classes to develop our English skills for a better life in UK. A lot of people have language problems because they come from many different countries. We find it hard to live in UK but if we learn English it will make our life easier to find jobs, do job interviews, help our children with homework, talk with people, go to the GP and the hospital.

In London on 14th October in front of the Houses of Parliament, lots of people protested against the government cuts to ESOL funding. The ESOL learners came together to show that they needed their funds back. These people were from different areas of London, different colleges and schools. The students were supported by teachers.

ELATT students from ESOL Entry 1 and Entry 2 led by Phoebe and Yvonne wrote their demands on placards to show them to the media, other people and the government. In the video, they interview each other, talk about ESOL's benefits and chant "NO ESOL, NO VOICE!"
