Welcome
Welcome to the English Project which aims to create, for the first time in the English-speaking world, an innovatory ‘language exposition’ (or 'living museum') where visitors - both physically and virtually – will be able to explore the English language in all its vigorous complexity across time and geography.
Our Mission is straightforward. It is to deepen people’s understanding and knowledge of the English language, its history and continuing development so that all English speakers everywhere can better appreciate, use and enjoy it.
So everyone is welcome, wherever they come from geographically or socially.
We will include all forms of English to reflect the amazing variety and power and adaptability of the language – from the street and workplace to science and advertising. There will be a core exhibition tracking the broad development of the language over the past 1500 years across the globe but it will be supplemented constantly by temporary exhibitions focused on special aspects and applications of English in, for example, pop music and science, law and love.
The English Project will also put a strong emphasis on interactivity so that visitors can contribute their own version of the language or summon up a wide range of expert presentations and resources – and even recreate great moments in the language - from the archives.
So the English Project is a unique development designed to enrich, amuse and challenge all users of the Language. We are just at the very start of this exciting undertaking. But we invite YOU to take part and find out more…
