Dear colleagues Huge thanks to everyone who got back to me last week with following my request for advice/useful contacts for a female Eritrean learner who was being relocated from London to Liverpool by the Home Office. We received some incredibly helpful and generous offers of support and some really useful contacts. Thank you again. The learner in question has now been told she is being relocated to Manchester this week! We are urgently looking for advice/useful contacts in Manchester in relation to: - support for new arrivals to the city - women who are victims of Domestic Violence - asylum applicants - making links with Tigrinya speakers/members of Eritrean community - free ESOL. Please could you contact me directly if you have any suggestions. Many thanks Karen Dudley Learning Unlimited 020 7911 5562 *********************************** ESOL-Research is a forum for researchers and practitioners with an interest in research into teaching and learning ESOL.
