In this course, you will hear from experienced teachers on the challenges of refugee education. They will share experiences of what they have learned and strategies they have used when teaching migrant learners both in countries affected by conflict and in host countries. You will also learn how to build inclusive classrooms and develop your learners’ confidence, taking into account the languages they know and their cultures.
What topics will you cover?
- Global trends in migration and displacement as a result of different types of conflicts
- The role and impact of language use as well as language development in migration and displacement
