Learn English through your city

Foreign language learning is too often detached from context and hard to apply in real situations. Our new Love Norwich ESOL is about getting to know a new city while building confidence and language skills. 

We’ve teamed up with NILE language school and the Mind Inclusion project to offer new comers to the city, as well as established groups who find it hard to learn English, the chance to learn in the context of their new home. Participants will explore the city’s exciting and unique past through visits to local sites and organisations, engage with objects and buildings and discover that Norwich is built on a history of immigration. While accumulating vocabulary students will also build the confidence they need to help them integrate and feel at home. It’s about learning for a reason and learning in context.

Classes start on 18th September at NILE. To enquire about a place for you or a friend contact Paola Colombo on 01603 432 457 inclusion@norwichmind.org.uk for an appointment to assess your level.

With special thanks not just to NILE and Mind but also to the museums service and library service for their help and support to make the project happen.
