The UK government says tougher English rules will aid integration. Esol experts warn they risk turning language learning into a tool of exclusion.

As the UK government doubles down on English as the sole route to integration, it shouldn’t mean leaving other languages behind.
Mae llywodraeth Cymru wedi cymryd camau i sicrhau bod y Gymraeg yn chwarae rhan fwy blaenllaw wrth groesawu mewnfudwyr a cheiswyr lloches.
The Welsh government has taken steps to ensure that the Welsh language plays a more prominent role in welcoming refugees and migrants.
Er bod Saesneg i siaradwyr ieithoedd eraill (Esol) yn cael ei drin fel unrhyw bwnc arall, gall gynnig llawer mwy i ddysgwyr.
Although English to speakers of other languages (Esol) is treated like any other subject, it can offer far more to those learners.
