Slide on screen at FALNI event with the text: "At a time when misinformation and intolerance are sweeping western societies, the importance of inclusive, accessible and community-based adult education has arguably never been greater. FALNI has played a vital role in attempting to shine a light upon our diverse and disparate sector, highlighting its impact to policymakers as well as providing a space for all who work in this sector to connect, share and network." Paul Sceeny, NATECLA Co-Chair and independent adult education consultant

Brilliant day at #NATECLA south West conference
Great to share with such passionate ESOL educators the impact of #trauma
Lots of people experience trauma but goodness the experience of some #ESOL Students is gobsmacking and there they go learning to live again in a new place

Travelling down to Birmingham, sadly missing out in day one of #NATECLA but will be there tomorrow, bright eyed and bushy tailed, and without a ridiculously early start

MESH is leaving X. Along with many other individuals and organisations such as our friends at #NATECLA and #RefugeeAction, we have decided that X is not addressing the increasing misinformation and hate speech found there. We stand for diverse communities, kindness and welcoming refugees and asylum

"Mismatch between rhetoric and rules versus reality on the ground."
Guess that's not a bad soundbite! 🙂

Grim, isn’t it? 😬
The British government’s Reform-lite “Island of strangers” rhetoric is depressing enough.
But alongside the fingerpointing about passing English tests, there’s no sign of a plan or strategy to expand #ESOL provision.

Screenshot from NATECLA website: NATECLA: Supporting our LGBTQIA+ colleagues and learners. NATECLA has always championed inclusive ESOL and Community Languages provision, and especially the need for teaching, learning and assessment materials that reflect learners’ diverse realities whilst offering insights into differing life experiences and perspectives. We applaud this challenge from Peter J Fullagar, LGBTQIA+ champion in the English Language Teaching sector to publishers, awarding organisations, institutions and all who work within ESOL and the wider arena of our sector to reflect on how LGBTQIA+ peoples are represented and reflected in materials and classroom discourses. Peter rightly points out that the sector is all too often complicit in upholding prejudice, discrimination and misinformation about LGBTQIA+ people and identities, as well as perpetuating falsehoods that these are ‘not normal’, ‘invalid or ‘taboo’. Given the recent fallout from the UK Supreme Court judgement and interim guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) for England, Scotland and Wales (and since it’s Trans+ History Week from 5-11 May), we’d particularly emphasise the importance of ensuring trans, non-binary and gender diverse ESOL learners and practitioners are welcomed, affirmed, accepted, included and treated with dignity. We are more than happy to sign this open letter. We’d also encourage our members and others who work within the sector (and Adult Education more generally) to do so.
Thank you to #NATECLA.

ICYMI - taking aim at the British Govt’s decision to cut England’s #AdultSkillsFund in 2025-26 - the very opposite of what’s needed if they’re serious about driving growth and extending opportunity.

Paul standing in the Departures lounge at Belfast City Airport with a coat and scarf on and the airfield behind him.
Have doubted it several times over the last 36 hours for obvious reasons 🌫️ - but looks like I *will* be making it to #NATECLA Management Council in Birmingham tomorrow. 🥳
Looking forward to catching up with old and new MC members in the morning. 🤞

Delighted to have been at the launch of this groundbreaking @learnworkuk.bsky.social report

Lots of ideas for developing and reimagining English language acquisition - and pleasing to see #NATECLA name-checked.
