Description
Summary:Meeting the Needs of Reunited Refugee Families: An Ecological, Multilingual Approach to Language Learning" by Sarah Cox analyses the situation of refugees in Scotland, with a focus on newly arrived women. Drawing from the experience of two previous case studies in Wales and Germany, the research explores the linguistic and practical challenges faced by newly arrived refugee women in the UK following family reunification. The volume demonstrates how the combination of an ecological, decolonial approach, and translanguaging strategies can be effective and appreciated by refugee families in their early days in a new country. The volume constitutes an exploration of what it truly means to start from "day one," delving into integration, language learning, and solidarity in a comprehensive and engaging manner
