Promoting pupil attainment and social inclusion by enhancing the spoken language skills of children in Moss Bay Ward: Phase two Report for Samuel Lindow Foundation

Abstract

The aim of this project is to promote educational attainment and social inclusion of children in an area of high deprivation, by enhancing their skills in spoken language.
The target for this stage of the phased project is to develop a research proposal for a pilot study that comprises a community-based language enrichment intervention initiative, which is tailored to the unique needs of the local community. It is anticipated that the pilot project outputs may subsequently be used to inform recommendations and planning for a wider roll-out of the initiative across the Region. In addition, the project findings will be used to underpin a bid for more substantial funding to assure future sustainability and more in-depth research into factors influencing effectiveness of the language enrichment initiative.
