Policy Brief » Language teaching and learning in multilingual classrooms
By the European Commission
This brief focuses on addressing the educational challenges faced by children of migrants, particularly in learning the language of instruction and assessment in schools. With increasing mobility, education authorities are tasked with ensuring that migrant children can quickly access teaching and learning in their new environments. The research aims to explore effective strategies for both supporting migrant children in acquiring proficiency in the school language and maintaining their multilingual skills for cultural and economic benefits. The research gathers, analyzes, and synthesizes existing data to identify what works in enabling migrant children to thrive academically and linguistically in multilingual settings.
