Introduction The Scottish Government’s “Welcoming our Learners: Scotland’s ESOL Strategy 20152020” sets out the importance of supporting Scottish residents for whom English is not their first language, to enable them to contribute and participate in the society in which they live. The English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) programme covers the four skills of speaking, writing, listening and reading, as well as offering an introduction to various aspects of everyday life in Scotland. To support the delivery of the ESOL programme in line with this national strategy, funding of £1,455,000 was allocated to Community Planning Partnerships (CPPs) during 2015-16. ESOL providers were invited to bid for funding to deliver programmes within their community planning area. All bids received were reviewed by the Scottish Funding Council (SFC) and Education Scotland to ensure they were in line with the strategy objectives and were directly related to ESOL before funding was administered. This review now considers how funding has been used during 2015-16, based on the returns from end of year reports that CPPs were required to submit. This review provides an analysis of the evidence provided from these reports.
