Ordsall Hall: English Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)

Visits with your ESOL group

We welcome ESOL groups of all levels at Ordsall Hall and are very keen for tutors and students to get involved and find out about life past and present at the hall and in the wider community.

As part of your visit, or as an outreach session in your venue, we can arrange one or more of these museum-led sessions:

Salford Past and Present
Discover about everyday life in the past through voice recordings and photographs. Make comparisons with life today and use your imagination and photographs to describe your life in the past.

The session lasts for 90 minutes and can be tailored for learners at Entry Level 1 to Level 2.

Object dictionaries
Practice your description skills and explore similarities and differences between Tudor and contemporary homes. Explore objects old and new and create an origami object dictionary for selected items found in Ordsall Hall.

The session lasts 2.5 hours and can be tailored for learners at Entry Level 1 to Level 2.

Self-guided groups
We welcome self-guided groups. Please let us know you are visiting by contacting Hazel Fenton on 0161 686 7444 or email hazel.fenton@salford.gov.uk.

Please download the ESOL Self Guided Visit resource pack below before your visit.

You can also download resources to support learners at entry levels 1, 2 and 3 and above to discover more about Ordsall Hall and Tudor times to support your visit or for follow up in the classroom.

Object handling
We have a Tudor handling box you can use with your ESOL groups. The box contains reproduction objects and learning activities that you can book out the box for use during your self-guided visit.
