This book offers a comprehensive and global perspective on language education for learners of a refugee background. It identifies structural and individual challenges refugees face when learning a new language in a variety of sociolinguistic contexts. At the same time, it offers innovative proposals to empower these learners and address the shortcomings of host environments. Readers will gain insight into innovations and interventions within the various dimensions that characterize sustainable and culturally responsive language education for refugees across educational levels from primary to higher and community education. Topics of interest include experiences of researching language education with learners of a refugee background, collaborating with multiple stakeholders, and designing as well as implementing pedagogies that reflect the latest theories of language teaching and learning in multicultural settings, such as translanguaging and plurilingualism. This book is useful to researchers, teachers, and post-graduate students in language education and applied linguistics, as well as policy-makers and community organizations.
