This course will explore key topics in relation to language learning and communication strategies that can be used when teaching English as a foreign language. More specifically, the course will focus on how these strategies can be utilised when teaching students with a refugee and/or migrant background. The course aims to equip future teachers with the necessary strategies and pedagogical tools to address the unique needs of learners with refugee and migrant backgrounds, in order to design English language lessons which will be linguistically and culturally responsive, as well as trauma-informed. The course will focus on theories, strategies, and practical tools relating to both the linguistic, as well as the cultural and socio-emotional needs of learners with a refugee and/or migrant background. Through a combination of theory as well as practical activities and micro-teaching, students will be encouraged to think critically about the role of language, culture, and trauma in such contexts and to design material which will promote resilience and empower refugee students through language learning. If possible, educational visits will be arranged to schools with a refugee/migrant student population.
