Abstract:

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’.
