University of Portsmouth visit ESOL students to talk UK law

Third-year law students from the University of Portsmouth have paid a visit to City of Portsmouth College to develop their presentation skills with ESOL students.

ESOL – English for Speakers of Other Languages – is taught at the College’s Arundel Campus, and it was here that the law students came along to showcase and pass on their knowledge.

As part of their university syllabus and presentation skills assignment, the law students spoke with the ESOL students about refugees’ rights and responsibilities, providing an opportunity for the university students to develop their communication and presentation skills while learning more about the experiences, perspectives and backgrounds of people from refugee communities.

For the ESOL students, the visit offered a valuable chance to engage in meaningful discussions, share their perspectives and learn more about the legal rights and responsibilities of refugees in the UK.

Gulsah Robertson, who organised the event with the help of Vickie Brown at the University of Portsmouth, said “It was a wonderful example of how collaboration between educational institutions can create meaningful learning opportunities beyond the classroom, and we would like to extend our sincere thanks to Vickie and her students for taking the time to visit us and make this exchange possible.”
