Hull College has been given a royal award for its work teaching English to speakers of other languages.<\/p>\n

The Queen Elizabeth Prize for Higher and Further Education was presented by the King and Queen at a ceremony at St James’s Palace on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The college said the recognition was for its Silent Voices, Vivid Stories project “that supports refugees, asylum seekers, and migrant learners to rebuild their lives through education”.<\/p>\n

The scheme includes translation tools as part of the learning process, including AI-powered online storytelling.<\/p>\n

Tina Lynam, head of English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) at the college, said the training was “about human connection, creativity, and empowerment”.<\/p>\n

“We are incredibly proud of our ESOL students, who bravely shared their journeys and identities through this powerful platform,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Winning this award shows the value of inclusive innovation – and the vital role storytelling plays in education and community.”<\/p>\n

The award is handed out every two years on the recommendation of the prime minister.<\/p>\n
