  • ESB Learners Celebrate Success

    New City College in East London recently held its annual Student Achievement Awards Ceremony in recognition of the success of its high achieving students.

    From the 30 awards given out on the evening, two English Speaking Board (International) students were presented with awards. Ibrahim Kintu was awarded Young ESOL Student of the Year and Cristian Paredes received the Adult ESOL Student of the Year award. They both completed ESB’s Entry Level Award in ESOL Skills for Life (Speaking and Listening) assessment.

    Attending the celebrations, at the Leonardo Royal London City Hotel, were BBC news presenter Ashley John-Baptiste, ESB’s Chief Executive, Tina Renshaw and ESB’s Business Development Advisor, Jackie Johnson.

    Says Tina,

    “We were honoured to celebrate the achievements of these two exceptional students. ESOL Skills for Life qualifications are designed for those who live, study or work in the UK. Many have to overcome obstacles to become successful so it’s always a privilege to hear about these success stories. They should be very proud of themselves!”

  • ESB gave Julie Hesmondhalgh a “taste for performing”

    Julie Hesmondhalgh

    English Speaking Board (International) Ltd. was delighted to see actress Julie Hesmondhalgh, better known as Hayley Cropper from Coronation Street, talking about ESB in the UK’s national media.

     

     

    She said,

    When I was at primary school, I was put into the ESB exams, which were all about enunciating with confidence and clarity. I had to prepare a short speech on someone I admired, so I chose Michael Caine; I was eight. I passed with distinction and got a real taste for performing.
