Sandra G. Kouritzin; Satoru Nakagawa; Taylor F. Ellis – TESL Canada Journal, 2024

Byram, Michael – Language Learning Journal, 2023
The "Common European Framework of Reference for Languages" has been a major influence on language teaching in Europe and beyond and its "Companion Volume" will probably have the same significance. It is important therefore that education professionals understand the underlying concepts, including the conceptualisation of the…

Hinostroza-Castillo, Ursula; Ianos, Maria-Adelina; Petreñas, Cristina; Lapresta-Rey, Cecilio – International Multilingual Research Journal, 2023
As a response to the migratory movements initiated at the end of the past century in Catalonia (Spain), its educational system aims to promote interculturality and multilingualism as a way to achieve social cohesion. For this purpose, it is important to improve our understanding of the linguistic acculturation preferences endorsed by local…

With the rise in the number of international students (ISs) in many Asian universities, some recent research has investigated ISs' linguacultural experience in the new Asian educational hubs. Current research has shown that while English is used as the de facto academic lingua franca in many of these hubs, the local language of the host nation…

Biying Wu; Jindong Liu – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
Quantitative research on the linguistic acculturation of sojourners in non-Western and multilingual social contexts remains scarce. Revising the Framework of Acculturation Variables (FAV), we propose a parsimonious model exploring the effect of acculturation conditions (trilingual language usage and perceived discrimination), orientations (social…

Bredtmann, Julia; Otten, Sebastian; Vonnahme, Christina – Education Economics, 2021
We analyze whether non-native speakers in the classroom affect students' educational achievement and social integration. In contrast to previous studies, which mainly examine the effect of the share of immigrant pupils, we focus on language heterogeneity by using a novel measure of the degree of linguistic diversity in the classroom. Conditional…

Sullivan, Anna; Tippett, Neil; Manolev, Jamie; Baak, Melanie; Johnson, Bruce – Journal of Education Policy, 2022
This article provides a critical analysis of policies from two education systems that support the education of students from migrant backgrounds. This analysis examines the highly political policy context of multiculturalism to reveal how education systems acquiesce to or resist social and political forces. In making this case, the article…

Simopoulos, Giorgos; Magos, Kostas – Global Education Review, 2020
Refugee education has been an important challenge for the Greek educational system and for the teaching community.
