DUBLIN, November 4, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to the 263,641 people who failed the British citizenship test in 2009, a new English language programme, that equips people with the language skills to pass the test, has officially been launched by Click4ESOL. Home Office figures indicate that Afghan, Iraqi, Bangladeshi and Turkish communities, with pass rates of below 50%, contribute significantly to the 29.1% failure rate. This negatively impacts on many who want to permanently settle in the UK or achieve full British citizenship.

This programme specifically addresses the language needs of different community groups. Click4ESOL has gone to great lengths to ensure that ESOL learners succeed in the UK. Joanna Norton, Founder and CEO said, We have spent time understanding the learning needs of ESOL students, from teaching ESOL citizenship in UK classrooms and by travelling to the countries our new citizens are from, to understand their cultures and traditions. This has helped us to create a programme so people can achieve their ambition of living and participating fully in the UK.

This programme, suitable for beginners, will help prepare people for life in the UK. Oya Karabetca, an ESOL citizenship tutor at CoHENEL College in North London said, Many people fail the British citizenship test because they lack the relevant language skills. Click4ESOL has put these needs first. As a Turkish speaker, I know it will benefit many from my community. The programme is also suitable for those who plan to come and live in the UK, but need to learn English before arriving.

For a sign-up fee of just GBP25 (EUR30), users can access over 2,000 activities and 1,800 audio files. Feedback is provided after each activity. The programme can be completed in 6 months, and users can then move onto the next level, (available in 2011).

Click4ESOL is a learning programme that puts the learner first. We are committed to helping ESOL learners succeed in the UK, by equipping them with tools they require to integrate and become full UK citizens. The high numbers failing the test is unacceptable. We hope this language programme will help reverse this trend to ensure that everyone who comes to the UK can achieve their full potential, Joanna Norton, CEO Founder.
