ESOL, also known as [English Speakers of Other Languages]l is a place where kids from foreign countries learn english. ESOL is after lunch on Wednesday and Thursday in the teacher aide room. The teacher aide room is a nice place that the kids can focus instead of having a place that people walk past constantly. The teacher that teaches ESOL is Miss Fran Pepperell along with other students that are in ESOL like Phoenix and Nitesh who we interviewed about ESOL.

Nitesh: "We do reading and worksheets to work on our pronunciation and writing skills. I like doing ESOL because I want to be able to read in school as fluently as possible. ESOL has helped me a lot".

Phoenix: "We have writing and sometimes if we work very hard we get to have free time which is great after all that work. My favourite thing in ESOL is the word search that our teacher makes us do".

Mary: "ESOL helps me understand pronouns and nouns and how they are used in the english language. I like to read the books in ESOL along with doing crosswords and word searches.

ESOL is a nice way to introduce newcomers to our language that is quite hard to learn and we think that ESOL is a great thing in schools.
