Cox Sarah - Meeting The Needs Of Reunited Refugee Families An Ecological Multilingual Approach To Language Learning - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: This book explores the gap between policy practice and academic literature within language learning for refugees and argues that a multilingual approach which combines translanguaging principles decolonising methodology and linguistic hospitality provides a more accessible starting point than current monolingual pedagogies. It considers the multilingual and multilateral approach laid out within Scotland's New Scots Refugee Integration Strategy which recognises the importance of linguistic diversity and two - way integration. The divide between policy practice and theory points towards the need to counteract the dominant monolingual/social cohesion narrative through suitable pedagogies which highlight linguistic diversity in a positive way. The author suggests ecologising as an alternative language pedagogy drawing on three key findings: the significance of decolonising collaborative learner/teacher relationships during the liminal phase of refugee arrival; the importance of place and orientation; and an increased understanding of language and languaging .
