The aim is not to deliver the learning hours consecutively, but to intersperse them in lessons, which allows students to practise and further develop the skill before they move on to the next stage of the development sequence.
Lesson plans: These lessons are contextualised to engineering and manufacturing and core knowledge content. However, providers can amend these to include different contexts based on the core sequencing. In addition, there is a slide deck that providers can use to support delivery of the lessons as indicated in the lesson plans.
Note: There is a separate slide deck that teachers can use with the lessons, in addition to separate videos also designed for use with the lessons.
Guidance for students: The guidance document aims to support students as they prepare for their ESP assessment. It includes some general information about the ESP assessment, and also includes specific information regarding the application of oral communication skills.
