Title	Ashlee Roberts at Performing Languages
Description	Ashlee Roberts performs multilingual poetry at the Performing Languages Conference.
Type Of Art	Performance (Music, Dance, Drama, etc)
Year Produced	2019
Impact	The Performing Languages Conference in February 2019 saw academics, artists, performers and cultural practitioners come together to watch, discuss and debate what it means to perform languages. The conference was unusual in that the organisers welcomed not only traditional academic papers, but invited performers to give examples of their art and their relationship to language. One participant wrote a blog post after the event and said, "What I liked most about the conference is that it didn't simply advocate for creative multilingualism; it made it happen, there and then. In addition to discussing their research and practice, attendees had the pleasure to see live performances, work with great artists, and support their latest works. To me, this was a clear demonstration of what the research programme had stated from the start : "there is more to languages than their practical benefits for communicative transactions. Another participant said "Ashlee's performance was captivating - her delivery of such a heart-felt script was inspirational."

Title	Babel: Adventures in Translation at the Weston Library
Description	Babel: Adventures in Translation takes visitors beyond the ancient myth of the Tower of Babel and society's quest for a universal language to explore the ubiquity and power of translation in the movement of ideas, stories and cultural practices around the world. This exhibition was co-curated by two Creative Multilingualism Co-Is. The exhibition ran in the Weston Library between 15 February and 2 June 2019. It brought together over 100 exhibits from papyri to plastic, from national treasures such as the oldest copy of the Chanson de Roland to a bilingual Welsh-English traffic sign, from medieval manuscripts to multilingual NHS leaflets and food packaging.
Type Of Art	Artistic/Creative Exhibition
Year Produced	2019
Impact	35,528 visitors attended the exhibition, taking 6,500 copies of the free booklet. 11,335 entered the over 100 different languages they spoke (from Icelandic to Zulu) onto an interactive screen. The exhibition was useful and inspiring for language professionals: "Thank you so much for organising such an opportunity to think about languages creatively! As a French teacher I use languages every day but I must admit I had forgotten how to focus on creativity. It was really refreshing :) Merci!"; "Brilliant exhibition and quite surprising for a translator"; "As a speech and language therapist I've found it fascinating thinking about different languages and their similarities - language is amazing!"; "I do A level English - it's all so interesting and will help with my course work!". At the same time, the exhibition sparked interest in visitors with no or little prior knowledge of translation: "[E]ven though I don't know about translation particularly the exhibition included interesting facts about subjects I enjoy hearing about. For example, the Harry Potter section was a great addition as it involved my love of reading... but also gave an insight to the translation that was involved also". Over the course of the exhibition, 56 different individual objects or topics were spontaneously identified as visitors' favourite aspects, demonstrating that the exhibition contained something accessible for everyone [E3 p8]. Many visitors reported that the exhibition informed their views in an engaging way, and the adjective 'thought-proving' was one of the most recurring comments The ways the exhibition transformed public attitudes to translation was praised by the media. "[The exhibition] rescues translation from its worthy perch by revealing it at work everywhere" ]. Not only did the exhibition succeed in taking 'translation' far beyond its traditional associations, but it also had a significant impact on shifting approaches to museum practice. Unusually, audio was included. A soundscape greeting visitors with 'Welcome to Babel' in a variety of languages drew on expertise within Bodleian staff and the wider community. Displayed texts were recorded in the relevant language, for example, a reading of the exhibited Koran verses by the Imam of the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies. There were 26,532 interactions with the audio content. In its post-exhibition report, the Bodleian noted feedback indicated a need for mixed contemporary and historic examples, linking the complex themes to relatable, accessible mediums while maintaining historic relevance. Visitors praised the "mix of old texts and digital media", and the "range of translations from Homer to Harry Potter" and the "broad historical sweep". The report recommended the library continue to integrate digital and tactile interactives, as these, were standout features for 27% of visitors.

Title	Evgeny Onegin - Helping Garsington Opera to stage a production
Description	Professor Curtis and Professor Bullock assisted the Director and Conductor to stage a production of Tchaikovsky's Evgeny Onegin. Professor Curtis was instrumental in helping both the production team and audiences consider the role of the novel in verse on which the opera is based: Aleksandr Pushkin's Eugene Onegin. In both a pre-season talk and a feature for the 2016 Garsington programme, Professor Curtis provided an overview of Pushkin's ambitious text. Professor Curtis also provided both a full translation and a transliteration of the libretto. Published by Garsington in a 125-page booklet, her word-for-word analysis of the text and annotations enabled both cast and orchestra to express the nuances and flavour of the original Russian in which the production was performed. Philip Bullock shone a light on Tchaikovsky's dramaturgy, providing a talk to complement Professor Curtis's lecture on Pushkin. In a further talk, Professor Bullock gave an insight into how and why the composer chose to dramatize Eugene Onegin. He worked with the director and the conductor during rehearsals, adding historical justification to their decisions.
Type Of Art	Performance (Music, Dance, Drama, etc)
Year Produced	2016
Impact	The professors' contributions helped the Director and Conductor reconcile the two texts: Pushkin's Eugene Onegin and Tchaikovsky's Evgeny Onegin. The Spectator said in its review of the production, "Garsington understands Eugene Onegin better than Tchaikovsky did." The Conductor, Douglas Boyd, said 'Julie Curtis's and Philip Bullock's advice and knowledge on Tchaikovsky, Pushkin, Eugene Onegin, and indeed the Russian language was not only invaluable to me as the conductor of the opera, but was inspiring.' Johnny Langridge, Director of Membership, Garsington Opera, said 'I speak for all members of Garsington Opera when I say how very grateful we are to both Philip and Julie for their selfless dedication to this project. We were able to have world-class expertise at our fingertips and this helped us to deliver a celebrated and acclaimed new production of a Russian masterpiece. They are both such a pleasure to work with and we are indebted to them both for giving so willingly of their kindness and expertise.'

Type Of Art	Film/Video/Animation
Year Produced	2020
Impact	Changed perceptions: 100% of participants said that they enjoyed the creative use of languages through using or hearing them in different ways, through live performance, filming and their own reciting of Shakespeare's lines in different languages. 80% of participants in the MPP's World's Stage film project said that the project had made them think different community languages were more valuable to the UK, with 90% now thinking that they were very important. Schools' development: The headteacher of one of the participating schools said: The World's Stage project had an unexpected impact. We are a school that loves participating in Shakespeare study and have a Shakespeare season every year. We were happy to be involved with this project which had a different slant. 20 different languages are spoken at our school (including English) but each of those different languages are only used by 1 or 2 children rather than a much larger number as happens at many of the inner city schools. As a result, their language is not shared in school and their ability as dual language speakers not recognized or valued. This project allowed those dual language speakers to use their own language and make comparisons with other languages. The children blossomed as a result of their involvement and as a result we have appointed somebody responsible for EAL and intend to value those different languages more highly around school.

Title	My mother is crying - a multilingual poem
Description	'My Mother is Crying', was especially created for our Creative Multilingual Identities conference at the University of Reading by Free Radical, part of the Beatfreeks collective. 'My Mother is Crying' encompasses human emotions and responses to crying, loss, suffering, fear and the comforting of one another through the presence of loved ones, and from speaking in mother tongues and newly created hybrid sounds in the context of the British diaspora. Bohdan and Amerah perform their poem, alternating between each stanza, and the languages they use and draw together are English, Polish and Arabic. The emphasis given to certain phrases and sections in the poem are accentuated both through an intonation of drama in the spoken word and through the accents of the different languages that shift between each other. As such, we are invited to consider what are the things that we don't say in English all the time, and who are the people that we say them to?

Title	What would you bring back if you travelled to the end of the world?
Description	Ingeniously designed to represent a geographical map of the world, the Mappa Mundi simultaneously uses a collage of fabrics to depict a bright-eyed and smiling face.
Type Of Art	Artwork
Year Produced	2017
Impact	During the performance at LinguaMania, the artist, Cedoux Kadima, welcomed visitors to consider what they would like to achieve if they themselves undertook a journey, and to inscribe their wishes on the artwork with brightly-coloured pens. The resulting artwork includes wishes such as 'freedom', 'peace', 'la tolerance', 'amor'... and 'Justin Bieber'! In their feedback attendees said: "The Mappa Mundi [was] fantastic; I've never thought of the Ashmoleum as being such a wonderful theatrical space"; "[best takeaway] The fantastic and re-affirming experience of seeing people of so many different cultures, countries, languages, backgrounds, and ages all having a great time together. In these times when multi-culturalism is being challenged and fear of "other" people is becoming a sadly accepted norm, it was inspiring and encouraging to be part of a "great big melting pot" of people. I loved it!"; "Really nice initiative! Loved the performances! It was a different and very cultural night! Should have more initiatives like that more often." A picture of the artwork now features on the research programme's homepage.

Title	Yoruba Sonnets
Description	15 Feb 2019, 6pm: Musical poetic performance with post-show Q&A, including Grammy-winning Nigerian musician Lekan Babalola
Type Of Art	Performance (Music, Dance, Drama, etc)
Year Produced	2019
Impact	The audience commented on the usual nature of the event, bringing together traditional Yoruba rhythms with English folk, and complementing spoken word philosophy with interpretive movement. The performance, and following Q&A, led to considerations of culture, how cultures interact and the benefits of this. The audience also remarked on how the performance touched on considerations related to identity. The team are discussing incorporating a performance into a conference in 2020. Examples of audience feedback include: "One of the most surprising and exciting and thrilling events I've attended in Oxford, and certainly at the University." "Unlike anything I've ever been to before." "Dr Olu Taiwo's adaptation/translation brings philosophy not read in Oxford." "Art as an expression of philosophy/culture should be done more often." "I learned more about my Yoruba heritage tonight" "Resonates deeply with my roots." "Thank you for taking me back to my homeland tonight." "As a young black British woman I haven't always been proud of my heritage but creativity like this shows how beautiful and dynamic mixing culture can be." "Exciting and important to represent other places and bring diverse people together in the city." "Collaboration of cultures - especially the folk music and the Yoruba poetry. I like the concept 'transculture' rather than 'multiculture'" This work has led to a further collaboration to co-create a new performance with Lekan Babalolo, his Soul Funk Collective and pupils from Brampton Manor Academy to be performed in May 2020.

Description	Creative Multilingualism (CML): • Demonstrated the effectiveness of creative teaching approaches • Increased student confidence, enjoyment, skills, and motivation for language learning • Connected schools with each other and cultural organisations • Influenced professional practice among teachers, theatre practitioners, artists, writers and others • Changed perceptions regarding the value of languages and increased pride in multilingualism • Increased awareness of the creative dimension of languages • Generated outstanding creative writing and inspired other high-quality creative outputs • Increased the linguistic diversity of the British creative economy and shifted attitudes in favour of multilingual culture among artists, industry programmers and the public • Reached a wide audience • Identified barriers to motivation in Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) in schools, shaped public debate by mobilising Higher Education (HE) support, and forged networks across sectors to generate policy review CML's Language Learning research strand had a positive impact on the teachers and students involved in the project, across 15 schools/586 learners aged 13-14 years. There is evidence that the approaches implemented by teachers led to significant improvements in learners' vocabulary, confidence in reading and general creativity. Teachers' pedagogical understanding and expertise was also enhanced. The Department for Education (DfE) funded National Centre of Excellence for Language Pedagogy rolled out these teaching approaches, reaching approximately 45 schools/12,000 learners. At the project's practitioner event in February 2020, teachers, student teachers and tutors from 11 teacher training (PGCE) and higher education institutions, drawn from across England, were trained in the use of the approaches and materials. Such training has also occurred at the University of Reading (25 student teachers and their mentors, covering over 20 schools), and at the University of Cambridge (20 student teachers and their mentors, covering 25 schools). As a result of these activities, practitioners' understanding of using authentic texts has been improved with implications for their practice. The research has thus made a substantial and wide-reaching impact on MFL teaching and learning in secondary schools. The findings around the value of authentic texts for learners' language and creative development then led to an ESRC Impact Award to create and trial a large bank of authentic online French out-of-class resources for use across secondary education. These have been accessed over 1500 times to date. See https://pdcinmfl.com/online-language-learning-for-all-olla/ Between January 2018 and April 2020, the Multilingual Performance Project (MPP) delivered 18 teacher workshops in Birmingham, London, Cardiff, Swindon, Hull and Dublin. In May and June 2020 there were 8 online workshops which attracted teachers from all over the UK, as well as seeing teachers log in from Sri Lanka, Poland, the US and Spain. Simple drama activities and games promoting creativity in language learning in the classroom were demonstrated. In the post-workshop survey, all participants responded positively to the statement "I feel more confident using performative elements in my teaching" (42% "Agree; 58% "Strongly agree"). A number of teachers participating in the workshops reported sharing what they had learnt with colleagues, who then also adopted the practices. Recordings of the activities were viewed 1,234 times. Alongside increased confidence in the classroom, teachers told us how the MPP workshops had inspired them to undertake larger creative projects, such as plays, role play competitions and international evenings. "The project also allowed me to develop confidence in leading a larger-scale performance than I had previously attempted. The Key Stage 2 Curriculum contains an expectation that children should 'perform for an audience'I had always included role-play and re-enactment of stories in classes and found them quite challenging. With the help and support of the MPP I was able to produce a play that 26 primary-school-aged children performed to an adult audience at a local theatre. I would simply not have attempted that without the information and support given by the project." Teachers noted the impact on students: • "once they're playing a role they're far more confident in their language speaking"; • "I was amazed. I did it with the bottom set in German and it produced so much spontaneous language. Things I'd forgotten they even knew, I'd even taught them." • Another teacher noted how such an approach "sowed the seed for a lot of valuable discussion around the links between language, culture and identity." There were numerous reports of activities increasing the motivation for language learning and formal language study - "Just to confirm, we got 10 A-Level students for Spanish this year - that is nearly double last year's cohortand does not include students who have gone elsewhere to study Spanish (of which I know of at least 5). Basically, a huge success and down in no small measure to this project." CML influenced professional practice not just among teachers, but also among actors, theatre practitioners, writers, and others: • In the Slanguages Impact podcast, seven artists who worked with CML reflect on how this contributed to their own development, thinking, creativity, language uses, and language learning. • Meleri Jenkins, Project Coordinator for Routes into Languages Cymru, said, "[MPP activities] have been embedded in our delivery." • John Roddy, film-maker on World's Stage said, "Working with different languageswas something new in my work and it taught me a great deal about working in a multicultural setting." • A staff member at Open Theatre, whose normal practice is physical theatre with young people with learning disabilities said, "Because we always work non-verbally I was a bit nervous about including different languagesbut while this experience took me out of my comfort zone it definitely added to my toolbox as a practitioner." The programme generated outstanding creative writing and enabled and inspired other high- quality creative outputs: • Profound cultural benefits came to 59 students from an economically deprived area of Oxford who participated in poetry workshops. Pupils learned to perceive their multilingualism as an asset, and 100% of questionnaire respondents felt more confident. 16 poems were published as England: Poems from a School, the quality of which was quickly recognised: 'Let's make no allowances for youth, nor for having English as a second language. [A] number of the poems are excellent' (The Telegraph). Many students won prestigious prizes. 'Lament for Syria' by Amineh Abou Kerech, a Syrian refugee, won the Betjeman Prize 2017 (over 2,000 entries) and inspired a new musical competition by Sir Karl Jenkins, one of the UK's most performed living composers. Videos of the activities used to stimulate poetry writing have been viewed 2,293 times. • In June 2018 CML hosted 500 primary school children from across Oxford to sing We are Children of the World as part of Oxford Festival of the Arts (recording viewed 6,000 times). The score of the CML-commissioned song and teaching material were made freely available, inspiring performances elsewhere. E.g. in June 2019 Young Norfolk Arts put on their own Creative Multilingualism concert, and for the June 2020 festival they adapted the concept further to create a My Language virtual exhibition. Through many public engagement events and projects co-created with partners, CML increased pride in multilingualism, changed perceptions regarding the value of languages, and increased awareness of the creative dimension of languages: • 80% of participants in the World's Stage film project said that the project had made them think different community languages were more valuable to the UK, with 90% now thinking that they were very important, and the headteacher of one of the participating schools said, "The children blossomed as a result of their involvement and as a result we have appointed somebody responsible for EAL and intend to value those different languages more highly around school." • At five 'Act Yourself' workshops, participants' ratings of how valuable having multiple languages is to society went up, from 30% selecting "very valuable" before the workshop to 75% after the workshop, and 79% of participants responded that they definitely felt more confident in using languages creatively as a result of the workshops • A facilitator at a poetry workshop said, "It was moving to witness their sudden realisation that Polish could be a viable and valuable medium of creative expression, and not just a hidden, superfluous or even vaguely embarrassing language." 'Slanguages', a programme of multilingual performances and exhibitions exploring how artists draw on their own and other languages in their creative work, was a key element of CML's impact. Slanguages increased the linguistic diversity of the British creative economy and shifted attitudes in favour of multilingual culture among artists, industry programmers and the public. Following the Languages in the Creative Economy symposium organised by Slanguages, all participants agreed that they were more likely to programme multilingual performances and had met new potential collaborators for developing performances. CML's work has reached a wide audience: • The careers films featuring interviews with people from a huge variety of careers discussing how languages have helped them in their career has been viewed 19,000 times • Creative Multilingualism: A Manifesto was dedicated to young people, and made freely available to maximise reach. Since publication, the Manifesto has been downloaded or accessed online over 7,000 times in 79 countries. • Babel: Adventures in Translation, an exhibition at the Bodleian Library showcasing the prevalence of translation and linguistic diversity, its importance for our everyday lives, and relationship with creativity, attracted 35,528 visitors. • The LinguaMania podcast series has had over 10,500 listens. • In December 2020, Polity added 'Modern Languages' to its 'Why it Matter Series in which "world-leading thinkers make the case for the importance of their subject and aim to inspire a new generation of students." The programme connected schools with Creative Multilingualism, each other and cultural organisations. For example, In February 2020, the MPP hosted an international networking and launchpad event for Instant MIX Theatre Lab (a European network of theatre companies and theatre training institutions, dedicated to the development of new forms of multilingual and multicultural theatre) and freelance theatre-makers in Birmingham, together with teachers from a French school (Lycée Polyvalent Joliot Curie), a British secondary (Rockwood Academy), drama and music school (Royal Birmingham Conservatoire), and ESOL teachers from across Birmingham. This event helped Instant MIX and the Lycée when applying to Erasmus+/ Creative Europe for a wider and deeper network of MFL teachers and theatre practitioners to collaborate in the future. CML identified barriers to motivation in Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) in schools, shaped public debate by mobilising Higher Education (HE) support, and forged networks across sectors to generate policy review. An open letter by Kohl in May 2019 was signed by 152 academics from 36 universities; and complemented by a Guardian feature. Kohl subsequently led an HE team (including co-I Graham) at a meeting with the Chief Regulator and met the Schools Minister in July 2019. In November 2019, Ofqual announced an adjustment to GCSE French and German grading. The DfE simultaneously set up an MFL GCSE content review, appointing Kohl to the panel. In a different field, a key contribution has been the creation of a lasting communication pathway for language and cultural values to enter policy conversations at the highest levels by bridging between the Ethno-Ornithology World Atlas (EWA) and BirdLife International's World Bird Databases (WBDB). Local Contexts' research has laid the groundwork for the application of EWA and CML global networks to the development of a local-to-global networked approach to language documentation linked to existing conservation networks. This is designed to generate a more accurate and nuanced understanding of the world's linguistic diversity and yield a more culturally informed approach to conservation.

Results and Impact	CML supported Open Theatre Company (who specialise in work with young people with learning disabilities) in the development and delivery of a large project for Coventry's year in 2021 as UK City of Culture. The project is based around rivers (the hidden river under the city will be uncovered as part of the 2021 programme) and nature-related work with learning disabled artists and special schools in and around Coventry. In Spring-Summer 2020 OTC ran a programme of work piloting/instigating this in special schools using different cultural and linguistic influences. OTC normally use a non-verbal physical theatre approach but were supported by the MPP to explore languages in their work with learning disability. This project was therefore multilingual, drawing inspiration from the community and taught languages of these schools as well as partner countries like Tanzania.

Results and Impact	This was an Ambassadors programme designed to promote Languages uptake at A level. In a range of schools in 4 regions of the UK, involving a team of undergraduate Ambassadors working with GCSE classes. The programme involved two classroom interventions by the Ambassadors; one university visit in each of the regions by GCSE pupils, with sample classes; an intensive mentoring programme with language undergraduates working with GCSE language learners who are NOT committed to taking a language at A level. The rate of uptake at A level improved substantially across the board, with the mentoring showing particularly impressive results: 29% of all those mentored (who were by definition not committed to taking a language) actually took a language at A level. The programme was evaluated by an independent expert in the field.

Results and Impact	A sell-out (550 tickets) evening event in the Weston Library, Oxford to complement the exhibition, Babel: Adventures in Translation. Attendees were given the opportunity to talk to academics working in modern languages, learn how to write in a variety of non-Roman scripts, and participate in translation workshops (Translating Nonsense, Extreme Translation, and the Spectacular Translation Machine) that did not require knowledge of languages other than English. There were also short talks and mini tours of the exhibition. Multilingual singing and dancing contributed to the atmosphere. Attendees reported finding the event inspiration and education. E.g. "Thank you so much for organising such an opportunity to think about languages creatively! As a French teacher I use languages every day but I must admit I had forgotten how to focus on creativity. It was really refreshing :) Merci!"; "Great exhibits and accessible even to someone who speaks one language!"; " A fascinating and extremely interesting evening.  A very timely event in a period of apparently declining interest in languages and therefore in the richness and diversity of the world."

Other comments included: 'The conference showed some fascinating insights into the link between minor and major languages, as well as the way we learn them', 'This conference really expanded my thinking of multilingualism', It made it [the connection between multilingualism and identity] tangible to me. It showed me how multilingual identity is voiced and used to create art and social change'.

The event raised awareness among highly receptive MBA students and members of the general public about the value of languages beyond their transactional usefulness, and awareness about valuable individual competence. Also significant was the effect of strengthening collaboration with the Saïd Business School. The talk was recorded and has had 82 view on YouTube.

Results and Impact	Participants were asked to write body part related metaphors, in any language, and stick them on the relevant part of Eddie/Edna's (our mannequins) anatomy. The activity was used to illustrate Professor Kohl's research on metaphor. 158 metaphors stickers were created and 61 people were engaged in deeper conversations about the research. Reflecting on this activity strongly influenced the shape of our participation in the Being Human Festival museum activities. The University reported that 42,496 people engaged with the live activities of Curiosity Carnival either as visitors to the events or remotely via online means. Curiosity Carnival successfully increased participation rates of the two most disadvantaged socio-economic groups of residents in Oxfordshire ('Financially Stretched' and 'Urban Adversity') from the baseline levels seen at Oxford University Museums, to levels in line with the population. 280,175 online/ digital active engagements took place during: the 6-month digital and engagement campaign; the main event and post-event activity via social media (such as Twitter posts; retweeting; Facebook posts etc) and other online engagements.

Results and Impact	We also held two performances to help further share our research with the visitors to Oxford University's Curiosity Carnival. Pegasus Theatre and The Conker Group created 'Flights of Fancy', a mesmerising performance which wove together different folk tales about the swallow from diverse cultures across the globe. Is it a harbinger of doom? Or does it bring luck and fortune? And how did it get its v-shaped tail? They incorporated a variety of languages to show creative multilingualism in action. Poet Paul Henry and Brian Briggs of Stornoway also performed their collaboration The Glass Aisle, a long poem with songs set on a stretch of canal in Wales. The work creatively combines the language of music and nature. Funding was subsequently secured to film Flights of Fancy for use in the Multilingal Performance in Schools Project. Learning from this event also influenced the structure of the museum activities in the Being Human Festival.

Such figurative frames can have important implications for political communication. Dr Christian Burgers, expert in this field (VU University Amsterdam) was invited to present theories of framing from the field of political communication and discuss how figurative frames are used in political discourse, how they affect voters' political attitudes, and how they change over time.

Results and Impact	A teacher from the school (a project partner) said "We were extremely fortunate to be able to take part in the Creative Multilingualism project ... Our students not only got the chance to think about how their own linguistic backgrounds inform their study of French and Spanish, but they also got the sense that their experiences and backgrounds are valuable and valued as a source of creativity and energy that will only help them as they pursue their language studies to A Level and beyond. To see our students make genuinely insightful analysis about poetry in a mixture of other languages and then apply a range of techniques in their own work was a real treat, and broke down barriers between subject areas that certainly linger on in many students. It is certainly the type of work and activity that we do not normally make enough space for typically in school, but the engagement of students and the level of challenge was clear for all to see." Teacher from St Paul's Way Trust School: "Taking part in the Creative Multilingualism project was an invaluable experience for our learners. The activities planned and delivered by Jane and Laura allowed students to think about their relationship with languages in ways they hadn't done so before, and has sowed the seed for a lot of valuable discussion around the links between language, culture and identity. The project has given me and my department some real food for thought around how we might celebrate home languages. Indeed, we plan to use some of the activities we saw during the workshops as part of our introduction to MFL in Year 7, as a way to increase motivation." 75% of students said it made them realise they could be creative with language in ways they had not thought of before 67% said it made them think differently about the languages they speak and their relationship with each other 43% said it made them consider choosing French or Spanish A Level James at Haggerston later wrote: 'Just to confirm, we got 10 A Level students for Spanish this year - that is nearly double last year's cohort, which was in turn double the one before, and does not include students who have gone elsewhere to study Spanish (of which I know of at least 5). Basically, a huge success and down in no small measure to this project! Thank you so much for everything.'

The workshop not only offered some fascinating discoveries but laid the basis for a further workshop in spring or summer 2018 leading to a print or digital publication. A blog post summarising findings of the workshop and demonstrating how Jane Eyre could be used to shed light on prismatic translation received close to 200 views.

Results and Impact	A special version of Oxford City Council's Language Café as part of the Oxford Science and Ideas Festival. The special café was advertised as an opportunity to "meet some University of Oxford language experts and share your knowledge and experience of language and multilingualism". A number of team members attended to represent the University. The café organisers reported a significantly increased attendance. One participant said, "I had not previously been aware of the Language Café scheme and was very grateful for being alerted to it. It is a very congenial format and the participants all seemed to enjoy it - most had come for the first time to a Language Café meeting in response to this "Language Café Special" Festival event. It was a good mixture of opportunity to exchange ideas, exchange languages and get to know people from different cultures."

Results and Impact	2,500 people attended 'LinguaMania', a special Friday night opening of the Ashmolean Museum. 29 diverse activities were distributed throughout the museum. Activities included multilingual music and theatre performances, languages tasters (including modern European languages, sign language, arabic, chinese and old Norse), tours of language objects in the museum's collection, writing workshops, bite-sized talks on language-related topics, and activities involving crowd-sourced linguistic ability. Attendees were asked to place a tile in one of three 'bins' to indicate their view of the event. 997 tiles were placed in the positive bin, 68 in the neutral bin and 12 in the negative bin. In the post event email survey, 86% of respondents rated the event extremely enjoyable or enjoyable. In the survey 25% of respondents said they intended to read a book about languages as a result of their attendance, 25% would watch a documentary on languages, 20% intended to sign up for a lanaguage class, and 21% intended to find out more about the research project. As well as being able to make free text comments in the survey, attendees were given the opportunity of writing views on postcards during the events (135 postcards completed). Comments included "[took away that] Languages are worth taking an interest in for their own sake... and not just for practical reasons (eg. I can use it in a job). This event was good for stepping outside of the immediate practical aims a lot of people have when embarking on learning a language"; "Inspiring! Thank you. As a language teacher, I'll be using some of your brilliant ideas!"; "Excellent and creative activities. I'm here from the USA and thinking how I could do something in my area. Thank you!"; "[took away] Ideas for use in school e.g. Crowd-funded translation"; "Well put together a lot of exciting activities. Very educational. We'll definitely be spreading the word about Multilingualism! Well Done! Thank you!"; "Our sortie on a Friday evening to awaken our inner linguist is a fascination on our doorstep. Great theme - vielen Dank! Original and vibrant and diverse!"; "Such a wonderful mixture of cultures, ideas and languages! An inspiring experience."

Results and Impact	Iraqi poet Adnan Al-Sayegh led two poetry workshops at the Oxford Spires Academy. The workshops aimed to stimulate creative writing among students, the majority of whom do not have English as their first language, in a school where 32 languages are spoken in total. The first workshop was for predominantly Arabic-speaking students from Syria, Sudan and Algeria, aged between 9 and 14. The second group of students, aged between 16 and 18, was more varied. Students wrote their own poems in English, others in Arabic, while one wrote an Arabic translation of a poem thought of in French. Students received feedback from Mr Al-Sayegh and presented their work to the group. Students were able to experience the link between creativity and multilingualism. One participant subsequently blogged "it seemed that the creative process was particularly rewarding for those who had to overcome the linguistic challenge of an incomplete grasp of the language they were using, and often the resulting poems were especially compelling." Poems produced in the workshop received considerable engagement via Twitter. E.g. "The Word Ummi" received 4,599 retweets and 7,760 likes. https://twitter.com/KateClanchy1/status/976722779579076608 and "I have divided my heart" received 2,904 retweets and 2,689 likes. "Lament for Syria" which was drafted in this workshop won the Betjeman poetry prize in 2017. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/oct/01/the-13-year-old-syrian-refugee-prizewinning-poet-amineh-abou-kerech-betjeman-prize Subsequently the poem was performed at Swansea International Festival in 2018. "Lamentation" by Sir Karl Jenkins, incorporates "Lament for Syria" given its world premiere at the Brangwyn Hall, Swansea on October 6th 2018.

A booklet of poems was produced as an output of the workshop.Jan Borysiak's poem "Poland", written in the workshop won third prize in the 2018 Betjeman competition. https://twitter.com/KateClanchy1/status/1047892136438509571

Results and Impact	The Performing Languages Conference in February 2019 saw academics, artists, performers and cultural practitioners come together to watch, discuss and debate what it means to perform languages. The conference was unusual in that the organisers welcomed not only traditional academic papers, but invited performers to give examples of their art and their relationship to language. Actively striving for collaboration between academia and the performing arts in this case proved enormously fruitful, as evidenced by the warm reception given to rapper RTKal and spoken-word artist Ashlee E L Roberts, and the active participation throughout the weekend of deaf comedian and filmmaker Rinkoo Barpaga. Workshops given by Rinkoo and multilingual theatre practitioner Tim Supple provided not only fascinating glimpses into performance practice outside the traditional British milieu, but also ignited interest in expanding academic understandings of language and performance. One participant wrote a blog post after the event and said, "What I liked most about the conference is that it didn't simply advocate for creative multilingualism; it made it happen, there and then. In addition to discussing their research and practice, attendees had the pleasure to see live performances, work with great artists, and support their latest works. To me, this was a clear demonstration of what the research programme had stated from the start : "there is more to languages than their practical benefits for communicative transactions...This conference was inclusive and self-reflexive in ways many conferences aren't. In that sense, it truly was performative, and encouraged intellectual stimulation as much as creativity." Quantitative feedback gathered demonstrated that participants were more inclined to see a connection between languages and creativity, to have gained a deeper insight into how languages and linguistic heritage could inspire artistic/cultural practitioners and to have had new ideas they intended to pursue in their work. Attendees said: " I have gained a lot of knowledge to help me integrate more culture/ cross-generation themes within my work as a practitioner"; "It has been exciting to meet practitioners and academics in the same room and will have an impact on my theatre practice"; "As a student this will go down as one of the most helpful aids to my future studies."

Results and Impact	Dr Chiara Cappellaro and Prof Martin Maiden spoke to a large audience of year-9 students (one hundred and eleven children, see photo below) at Oxford Cherwell School about the empowering fact that foreign languages are not as 'foreign' as we think. Children were asked for 'one thing that you did not know about before the talk and that stuck with you?' Answers included: How similar languages are; Some foreign words can be learnt through similarities with other languages like English; How there are more similar words in different languages than one thought; Languages have 'mothers' and 'sisters'. 76.56% of students claimed that they were more confident about their ability to understand the meaning of individual words written in a foreign language following the event. 84.67% of children claimed that they felt languages were more interesting than previously thought. A blog post about this activity received nearly 200 unique page views.

Results and Impact	The Slanguages in the Creative Economy research project spoke to 10 artists from the West Midlands who use other languages as part of their work. The ensuing report sees the beauty and power in using different languages, slang and dialect across a range of artistic disciplines. It shows how, in spite of preconceptions, xenophobia and tokenism, multilingualism - and the multiculturalism that it engenders - can be a force for good to change our creative industries and their related economy. In the report you will read about languages from around the world, creative forms which span across genres and styles, and from people with a variety of backgrounds. What unifies them here is the impact that using languages has on their creativity.

Results and Impact	This conference at Wadham College, Oxford, on 20 and 21 March 2019, brings together musicologists, modern linguists and cultural historians to examine the work of four major poets - the Persian Hafiz, the German Heine, the American Whitman, and the French Verlaine - and how their verse has been set to music by a wide range of composers. Most crucially, this conference looks at how poetry and song exist not just within individual national traditions, but across national, linguistic and cultural boundaries through acts of creative translation, transposition, imitation and performance. At the heart of the conference is an emphasis on song's mobility and malleability - and its power to challenge pervasive accounts of music's role in the formation of exclusively national cultures.

Against that there's a sense that every languagehas its own truths about the human conditionand if that language is lost, then a way of understanding the world is also lost" (Andrew Marr)

"While I don't know if Jay and I will ever get to finish our work on Winterreise, I've come to realise that the mere fact such a project ever existed speaks to an enormous potential for the classical music industry to consider. We've shown that it is indeed to make a nearly two hundred year-old piece 'speak' in a new way, to an audience that otherwise might never have known about it. We've shown that these classical works, far from being inaccessible, endure precisely because they have the ability to be related and translated to people of all ages, backgrounds, and origins. Sometimes it just takes new voices to let them sing."

Members of the public in this case included people in approximately an age range of 8-80, and from many parts of the world - for example European, Asian and Pacific Island words were known or guessed by people from those regions.People were also invited to write down words that they thought might hae avian origins, for us to investgae and report back on.
