| AdminHistory | The Adult Language Use Survey was undertaken as part of the Linguistics Minorities Project. It aimed to provide an account and analysis of the changing patterns of bilingualism in several regions of England, and to develop and assess varied methodologies for the study of the processes of language change and shift. It was funded by the DES. The Economic and Research Council funded the Community Languages and Education Project (1983-1985), the major task of which was the second stage analysis of the ALUS data. It was based in Coventry, Bradford and London (mainly Haringey and Tower Hamlets). The Coventry Languages Project started working in Coventry, June 1980, to study the different languages in the city. The aim of the project was to find out how many people are using and learning different languages, where and when they use them and how they feel about their future; as well as the educational issues. It later came under the work of the Community Languages Education Project. |
