This paper presents a study of practice that was conducted during the piloting of a
vocational (health care) e-course at the Distance Learning department of a College of
Further and Higher Education in England. The purpose of the study was to establish a
course of action aiming to support non-native English speaking learners to successfully
complete the essay-type questions of the e-course assignments. The exploratory
nature of the study means that in effect the study comprises of two distinct, yet
interrelated parts, with the first one looking into how two (2) non-native English
speaking learners (participants) used different e-course resources to help them
compose their answers. Based on the findings, the second part examines the role of
writing frameworks (in the form of email communication between the tutor and the
participants) in helping the latter to compose answers that met the assessment
criteria in terms of a) content (subject) accuracy, b) length and c) originality.
Discussion of the findings includes implications for providing additional English for
Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) support to distance learners, suggestions for
further improvements to the e-course and recommendations for further research.
