The Project

This project aims to identify ways for disabled learners to learn English more effectively. The project outline was submitted for funding in March 2008. Participants from several countries bring a wide range of experience and views. The idea for the project came when a Fulbright scholar contacted a participant from the EU Youth Project "Maximizing Inclusive Participation during University Experience" in February 2008.

 

Accessenglish.org was established with Fulbright funding; the site is being used for developing English language skills of students participating in EU project 'Towards Inclusive Universities '

MIUSA (Mobility International USA)has complementary materials and additional resources throught its National Clearinghouse on Disability and Exchange

 

 

  • Disability information  ( 2 items )
  • Project information  ( 8 items )

    To achieve project aims , participants will

    • Collaborate with other individuals and organisations that teach English to disabled learners in target countries (Bulgaria, Poland, Turkey, USA)
    • Collate examples of best practice from each country
    • Develop disabled role models more confident in speaking English

    Two meetings will be held:

    • An initial meeting will connect participants through video conference, to launch the program and decide on criteria and targets
    • A final meeting will discuss the final outcomes and make suggestions for further work
