Abstract | This article focuses on the inadequacy of the term ‘literacy’ which is often decontextualized of learning contexts, and on the inadequate teaching practices in migrant education. The author argues that instructors need knowledge in linguistics, but also in other disciplines to be able to teach migrants. More importantly, instructors have to be aware of the living and working conditions of migrants to be able to understand their needs and teach them effectively. |
Key words | Literacy, teaching practices, language |
Other interesting information | Language teachers need to couple their pedagogic practices with theoretical knowledge; only then can they respond adequately to the needs of migrants. |
