This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite more than 50 years of research evidencing the advantages of pedagogical approaches that include the existing language competences of plurilingual students, many education systems continue to frame the schooling of newly-arrived immigrant students in terms of linguistic deficit (Hélot and de Mejía, 2008; May, 2002). The consequences for young migrants are often forms of linguistic and academic marginalisation within education systems, that can negatively impact on schooling outcomes, resulting in exclusion from future access to higher education and its potential longer-term social advantages. This research challenges the power imbalances inherent in this problematic, by taking an “ecological systems model” approach (Bronfenbrenner, 1979) to compare key elements interacting within the educational environments of France and Aotearoa New Zealand: policies and practices of immigration, education and languages, and the effects of these on the schooling of immigrant students.At the heart of the research is a study carried out between 2017-2019 in two schools (a collège in Bordeaux and a high school in Wellington), examining the ways in which it is possible for first language competences and plurilingual repertoires to play a role in language-of-schooling learning processes, during the 'critical transition period' (OECD). Six case studies look at how newly-arrived plurilingual teenagers are supported in their integration processes within the two school systems. All of the 42 participating students in this study are from migrant, asylum-seeker or refugee backgrounds, which is important for the study's findings and recommendations for teacher training for working with plurilingual immigrant students who arrive as teenagers.Two areas of key findings from this study highlight the importance of training teachers in plurilingual teaching and learning strategies for working with newly-arrived immigrant students with low proficiency in the language-of-schooling, particularly teenage “late arrivers” (after the age of 12) and asylum-seeker / refugee students with gaps in prior schooling. Firstly, findings on students' language use in FLS / EL classes shows that students themselves use a range of plurilingual learning strategies in the language-of-schooling class context, where they are in a language-diverse community of learners and “space is allowed” for plurilingualism. In contrast, a second set of findings shows that in the monolingual context of “classes d'inclusion” (in the French school) where students have limited opportunities to manage their learning through plurilingual approaches, they tend to rely on passive learning strategies and feel isolated.Findings from both these areas quantitatively and qualitatively support the hypothesis that educational environments that allow space for plurilingual learning approaches create a platform from which to improve learning processes, engagement and construction of knowledge, there by encouraging more effective learning for newly-arrived immigrant students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many parts of the world, there is a growing interest in how existing linguistic knowledge is involved in the acquisition of further languages; in particular how learning the language of schooling can be improved through inclusion of students’ home languages. This theme gathers around it a rich international network of multilingual researchers interested in promoting the benefits of bilingual and plurilingual education, the recognition of linguistic and cultural diversity in schools, and strategies for supporting young migrants to succeed in schools. Young Migrants and Plurilingualism in Schools: A Comparative Study of Language Diversity within Education Systems in France and Aotearoa, New Zealand presents findings from the author’s Ph.D. study carried out during 2017–2019 with young migrants and their teachers in France and New Zealand. These findings provide evidence for plurilingual learning spaces as improving student participation, interaction, sense of wellbeing and social cohesion—all elements of democratic coexistence in culturally and linguistically diverse societies.

Download or read book Bilingual Youth written by Shontia L. Lowe and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: District and school-level leaders continue to experience ongoing challenges in the design and in the implementation of supports for immigrant youth that have recently arrived in the United States (U.S.), who speak little to no English, and who are unfamiliar with the U.S. school system (Umansky, et al, 2020). There has also been an increased demand placed on education systems by these youth, with states and local education agencies struggling to address their needs (Sugarman, 2015). With the high rates of these recently arrived youth in the U.S., school systems are experiencing continued challenges in meeting these youth's needs (Sugarman, 2015). The challenge of meeting these youth's needs in our education systems and in our local education agencies, is exacerbated as the youth get older. Prior research has suggested that teen immigrants are worse performing when compared to earlier entering immigrants, or when compared to those who were born in the U.S (Stiefel, et al., 2010). Consequently, to mitigate the school district level challenges in the design and implementation of supports, and to address the increased demand placed on education systems by these students for services that address their needs, this study has given voice to this demographic, so that school systems can better identify the needed supports, and so they can streamline the process of service identification and service provision programmatically, for this rapidly growing sect of the public school's high school population. This is at the school and at the district levels, and so that the states and local education agencies would not continue to struggle to address these recently arrived immigrants' needs (Sugarman, 2015). As a result, the purpose of this phenomenological research study was to explore the lived experiences of what the researcher terms "Aspiring Bilingual Immigrant Youth" (ABIY) in U.S. high schools, given the difficulties these youth experience when immigrating in their high school years. This study consisted of nine semi-structured individual interviews, and one focus group that consisted of four participants from the individual interviews, to understand the perspective and essence of their lived experiences reflectively, upon their entrance into U.S. high schools and overall (Merriam & Tisdell, 2016). The research questions that informed this study included: (1) How do study participants describe their academic and social experiences when they first enter(ed) U.S. public high schools? (2) What academic and social support services did participants use in U.S. high schools? (3) What academic and social support was meaningful for participants when they first entered U.S. high schools? Through these questions, the experiences of these youth were described, to capture the essence of their experiences in U.S. high schools, and their support service needs were explored. With this research, the purpose is to inform education policies, programs, and practices related to this demographic, and to negate the dearth in research and resolutions that centers their voices in policy, program, and practice decision-making processes. Also, this research's purpose was for their needs identification and subsequent support services provision components to emerge, given this demographic's growth and increasing demand on our public high school education systems and local education agencies.

Download or read book Working Together for Integration Skills and Labour Market Integration of Immigrants and their Children in Iceland written by OECD and published by OECD Publishing. This book was released on 2024-09-04 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relative to its population, Iceland experienced the largest inflow of immigrants over the past decade of any OECD country. Four out of five immigrants in Iceland have come from EU and EFTA countries, although there has been a recent increase in humanitarian arrivals. Employment rates are the highest in the OECD, for both men and women, reflecting the recent and labour market oriented nature of most immigration to Iceland. However, immigrants’ skills are often not well used, as witnessed by the high rate of formal overqualification. What is more, immigrants’ language skills are poor in international comparison and there is evidence of growing settlement of immigrants. Against this backdrop, Iceland is at a turning point in its integration framework, and seeks to develop a comprehensive integration policy for the first time. This review, the fifth in the series Working Together for Integration, provides an in depth analysis of the Icelandic integration system, highlighting its strengths, weaknesses, and potential areas for improvement. Earlier reviews in this series looked at integration in Sweden (2016), Finland (2018), Norway (2022) and Flanders (2023).

Download or read book Considering Trilingual Education written by Kathryn Henn-Reinke and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2012-04-27 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based in case studies conducted in the US, Europe, and Latin America, this book explores the feasibility and benefits of trilingual/ multilingual education in the United States. Currently, there are few programs in the country of this nature, as educators tend to conclude that English-language learners would be overwhelmed by study in additional languages. Henn-Reinke builds an argument supporting trilingual education in the US, discussing issues of identity, curriculum, pedagogy, and the impact of other psycho-socio-linguistic factors.

Download or read book English as a Second Language in the Mainstream written by Constant Leung and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since it was first established in the 1970's the Applied Linguistics and Language Study series has become a major force in the study of practical problems in human communication and language education. Drawing extensively on empirical research and theoretical work in linguistics, sociology, psychology and education, the series explores key issues in language acquisition and language use. English as a Second Language learners are now a considerable and increasing part of the mainstream of urban schools in English-speaking countries. Beyond the learning of English, this development raises broader questions of language as a medium of education in a multilingual, multicultural environment. Drawing on their experience as researchers and educators in Australia, Canada and England, the authors of English as a Second Language in the Mainstream present an up-to-date account of advances in theory and practice. Their analysis of system-wide provision however, suggests that a truly responsive educational vision is lacking: government policy is inadequate, educational practices for ESL students are either underdeveloped or poorly coordinated with practices for other students, and the rhetoric of reform fails to engage significantly with issues of teaching and resources. The authors argue towards a more comprehensive vision which can acknowledge the relation between issues concerning ESL students and issues concerning the educational system as a whole, which can coordinate reforms in ESL education with general reforms, which can explicitly and systematically integrate language learning and content learning, and which can build more positively on the multilingual and multicultural nature of modern education for all students.
