One week to go! I'm looking forward to the opportunity to share and discuss empowering experiences of ESOL in adult education across Ireland/UK with my colleague and fellow ESOL activist, Dr Melanie Cooke.

It was a privilege to contribute to this book. My chapter focuses on the first pilot 16+ ESOL course for multilingual learners in Northern Ireland. Looking forward to reading the innovative learning and teaching practices across all devolved regions.
