Dear all

I am sending this message (below) on behalf of my PhD student Olena Gundarina. Olena is hoping to recruit a Russian-speaking pupil in a London or a Leeds primary school onto the pilot phase of her resarch project. Details below. Please contact Olena directly if you can help.

Kind regards

Dear everyone,

 

I am a PhD researcher from The University of Leeds investigating experiences of Russian-speaking pupils in UK primary schools. The aim of my research is to explore how new (recently arrived) and relatively new (arrived 3-5 years ago) Russian-speaking pupils (7-11 years old) respond to the new foreign language environment of UK state primary schools. I will use interviews and observations in my study. My research is funded by the University of Leeds.

 

I am writing to ask if anyone has contacts of Russian-speaking pupils/parents or primary schools with Russian-speakers in London and/or Leeds, or could put me in touch with someone who is familiar with this information?

 

For further information about my research, please see:

Many thanks,

Olena
