We would like to invite you to our opening session: An ESOL Debate with Philida Schellekens Tuesday 20 September 2011 British Council, 10 Spring Gardens, London, SW1A 2BN The ESOL Debate promises to be a hands-on session where you will have an opportunity to evaluate ESOL provision with colleagues and brainstorm what factors would really lift the effectiveness of classroom practice.
