Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) is a teaching method that helps new residents of English-speaking countries develop practical English language skills they need for daily life. The key emphasis of ESOL curriculum is how students can apply their learned skills outside of the classroom. This article explores the use of lifelong learning skills by teachers in teaching English to ESOL learners in educational institutions. It presents a case study of Palmerston North and online learning in New Zealand to illustrate this approach. By applying lifelong learning skills to ESOL teaching, we can help students develop the English language skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their personal and professional lives. This approach can also be applied in English language teaching in Thailand to cultivate both English language skills and sustainable lifelong learning skills.
