Meeting the Needs of Reunited Refugee Families: An Ecological, Multilingual Approach to Language Learning - Paperback

by Sarah Cox (Author)

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.
