WEA is a charity that offers courses for adults in local communities and online. Learn new skills, improve your English, explore arts and crafts and more. WEA courses are held all over the UK in lots of locations and they offer a wide range of free short (e.g 1-4 month) ESOL courses – please go onto their website to check current course information and to enrol.
Our general English courses focus on speaking and listening, grammar, reading and writing. They help to equip learners for everyday life and situations as well as providing grammatical information at the appropriate level. Students will be entered for the Trinity speaking and listening exam at their level at the end of the course. Our courses are fully streamed and available at A1, A2, B1, B2 and C1 levels.
Our Cambridge exam courses directly prepare learners for their exam, at either FCE or CAE level. They are intensive and focused but flexible in meeting students’ everyday needs too.
We also offer a Life Skills course which deals with everyday situations and focuses on requests from learners. We have an A1/2 group and a B1/B1+ group.
All courses are for 4 hours a week for 15 weeks and the costs include exam fees. All courses are delivered by qualified and experienced ESOL tutors.
Our ESOL courses are suitable for students whose first language is not English. Perhaps you are a complete beginner or already have a basic knowledge of the language. If you have moved to the UK from overseas, are seeking asylum, or are classified as a refugee, you may be referred for this course from the local council or other institutions. The course covers several levels in English, from complete beginners up to level 2.
We offer general ESOL as a part-time course and serving up English – a relaxed café based 10 week course where you volunteer in a café and improve your English.

Here at LMC we have a strong ESOL (English as a Second Language) offer for our local community. Through specialist tutors we deliver twice weekly sessions to ESOL learners at all levels from Beginner, Entry 1, to Advanced at Level 2. We work closely with local organisations such as Global Link to support those learners in need of ESOL tuition. We support students to progress through the levels, including onto GCSE English, and into employment.
We have sessions through the Lancaster and Morecambe District, at various times of the day and evening. Dependent on a student’s financial situation or immigration status the classes may be free. Students will need to have an assessment with a specialist tutor to identify which level of class is appropriate before joining a class with us.
