Teaching in Multicultural environments
Course Outline
A few words about the course: The mobility of people from war zones or countries facing conflicts or poverty to countries with a safer and more stable socioeconomic environment, has created societies which can be characterized as multilingual and multicultural. In the school environment, children with refugee/migrant background face challenges and barriers, along with other issues concerning their sociolinguistic needs, their ‘’visibility’’ in the classroom and the exploitation of their personal capital. This course is concerned with these very issues, aiming at proposing ways towards a ‘’multilingualization’’ of the school classroom.
