Food For Thought | Learner-led Blog Project September 2021 - June 2022
We wanted to use more of our online platforms to offer a voice to people learning English, whilst at the same time developing English language skills in a creative, meaningful and practical way. This blog aims to give people learning English the opportunity to voice their thoughts, opinions and stories in English in a creative, structured and reflective process.
