The ESOL Effectiveness Self-Assessment Framework has been developed to support providers and partnerships to reflect on the quality, effectiveness and responsiveness of English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) provision in Wales.
Developed by Learning and Work Institute on behalf of Medr, the framework was co-produced with ESOL providers, practitioners, stakeholders and learners. It draws on evidence, research and insights gathered through a collaborative development process, including stakeholder engagement, learner focus groups and pilot testing. The framework recognises that effective ESOL provision extends beyond teaching and learning alone. It reflects the range of factors that contribute to positive learner experiences and outcomes, including access and inclusion, learner engagement, progression, partnership working and workforce development.
The framework recognises that effective ESOL provision extends beyond teaching and learning alone. It reflects the range of factors that contribute to positive learner experiences and outcomes, including access and inclusion, learner engagement, progression, partnership working and workforce development. What the framework covers The framework is organised into five domains that reflect the key components of effective ESOL provision:
• Access, engagement and inclusion – supporting learners to access provision and addressing barriers to participation.
• Teaching, learning and curriculum – focusing on the quality, relevance and responsiveness of ESOL delivery.
• Learner outcomes and progression – supporting learner achievement, progression and wider outcomes.
• Systems, partnerships and pathways – strengthening planning, collaboration and learner pathways across the ESOL system.
• Workforce and provider capacity – supporting workforce development, professional learning and organisational capacity.
Alongside the framework, an ESOL Outcomes Statement has also been developed to set out the priority outcomes for Medr-funded ESOL provision in Wales and provide a shared focus for self-evaluation, quality improvement and planning.

Learning is something that continues throughout our lives. Whether it is developing skills for work, improving digital confidence, learning from colleagues or exploring a new interest, every learning experience can contribute to our personal and professional development.
Adult Learners’ Week is a national moment to celebrate the power of lifelong learning — but celebration is not enough.
If we want more adults to start, stay and progress in learning, we must listen to what adult learners are telling us and use those insights to shape policy, funding and delivery.
In a rapidly evolving educational landscape, collaboration has never been more important. The Adult Learning Partnership Wales (ALPW) network brings together Adult Community Learning providers, Learning and Work Institute, Medr, Estyn, Welsh Government and other key stakeholders to strengthen adult learning through partnership, shared expertise and a commitment to continuous improvement.
Adult Learners’ Week – September 21-27 – offers a timely chance to celebrate individuals across Wales who have changed their lives through learning and encourages more of us to do the same.
The Government’s plans to get the economy growing risk falling short unless it takes action to reverse sharp falls in the training employees get at work, new analysis warns.
For nearly 30 years, Learning and Work Institute (L&W) has published its annual Adult Participation in Learning Survey. As the longest-running survey of its kind, it stands as the definitive report on who is learning across the UK, how they are learning, and what motivates them. It adopts a broad definition of learning, including formal, non-formal and informal learning, rather than just publicly offered educational opportunities for adults. In 2025, we specifically boosted our survey sample in Wales to 800 adults. This expanded dataset allows us to take a closer look at the unique successes and distinct challenges facing Welsh learners, offering an invaluable point of comparison with the rest of the UK.
Learning and Work Institute’s latest Adult Participation in Learning Survey for Wales tells a positive story of increasing engagement in learning but it also shows that those who may benefit most are missing out.
Nearly half of adults in Wales (47%) have taken part in learning over the past three years, a higher rate than the UK average (42%) but stark inequalities emerge when we look at age, demographics and employment status. The definition of learning in this survey is intentionally broad and extends beyond government or employer funded opportunities to include informal and self-directed learning.
