Hi everyone Manchester Art Gallery, Manchester Museum and the Whitworth all run English Corner and the Mc Museum is now exploring a partnership with LUCID http://www.lucid.ac.uk/ to deliver ESOL for parents with their babies in both museum and community settings as they move towards a closure for major re-development. Jo-Anne will know about English Corner. Copying in Elaine at the Mc Museum for any updates. Sam we are talking to your STP about a northern partnership to build a best start. Might be worth connecting up? I work on the Maternity Vanguard(blue print for future women's and children's services and we are exploring ways to develop language and literacy through collaborations to build a best start. Libraries re doing lots around Bump Booster and rhyme times(ASCEL) Best wishes Jo Jo Ward Change Maker North West Social Prescribing Network Co-Chair NHS England The Women's and Children's Partnership-Cultural Lead Have you read A Cultural Manifesto for Wellbeing <tel:07708> Tel:07708 428096 From: ESOL-Research discussion forum and message board [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Martha Young-Scholten Sent: 08 September 2018 18:18 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: lang development in informal contexts Someone at the 2006 LESLLA symposium in Richmond, VA gave a presentation on parent-child nature excursions (Chesapeake Bay, for example) where there was a concerted effort to include parents with little/no formal schooling, too. It's not in the proceedings, but Nancy Faux would know about it. Martha _____ From: ESOL-Research discussion forum and message board <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of James Simpson <[log in to unmask]> Sent: 08 September 2018 18:08 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: lang development in informal contexts Hello all Jo-Anne Sunderland (British Museum), Sam Powell (Leeds City Council) and I have a question: Does anyone have any examples of informal activities focusing on language development alongside other activities (e.g. art, sport, music) which include both new arrivals who are ESOL students and settled residents as participants. I can't think of one. Any ideas? Links to projects or anything published would be really useful.
