- provide learners on ESOL programmes with good opportunities to scrutinise and correct their own work for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors.

- systematically collecting information on the programmes learners choose to follow when they complete their current programmes
- understanding how learners’ current programme choices influence the programme(s) they choose in the future.
