Learning while we walk in Chorlton

Get Walking has joined forces with Chorlton Park Adult Education Centre to deliver a series of walks for one of the ESOL classes. People in this class are learning English and we have been using the walks to learn about road safety, health and physical activity, and maps. We have used worksheets to practice reading and writing along the walking routes and we have also used video cameras to practice conversation. The group comes from all over the world including Slovenia, Russia, Turkey, Iran, and Somalia. We have walked through Chorlton Ville, to Chorlton Water Park, to Jackson’s Boat and along the River Mersey and along the Fallowfield Loop.
