Successful integration of migrants is a crucial element in promoting social cohesion: language education, in particular the mastering of the language of the host country, has a major role to play in support of the introduction and acceptance of young and adult migrants into education systems, the labour market and society at large. At the same time, the safeguard of migrants’ own languages of origin and their cultural values is an essential factor for harmonious integration. </p> <p><a show="Read more" onclick="javascript:return toggle(this, '#div1')" href="#top" hide="Hide details" class="links">Read more</a></p> </div> </div></div></div> <div style="margin-bottom:10px;"></div> </div><div class="DnnModule DnnModule-MLHTML DnnModule-12735"><a name="12735"></a> <div><div id="dnn_ctr12735_ContentPane" class="Normal"><div id="div1" style="display: none;"><div id="dnn_ctr12735_ModuleContent" class="DNNModuleContent ModMLHTMLC"> <div id="dnn_ctr12735_MLHTML_HtmlHolder" class="Normal"></div> <div id="dnn_ctr12735_MLHTML_lblContent" class="Normal"> <p>In principle, education for migrants should not be seen as distinct from that of general educational provision and the values developed in the work of the ECML apply to it. Nevertheless, there are specific issues related to language education for migrants, which include:</p> <ul> <li>Enabling migrants to achieve operational competence in the language of the new country quickly and efficiently</li> <li>Providing support to migrant children for successful integration into the school system; this includes learning academic discourse related to school subjects</li> <li>Developing ways for migrants, especially children, to learn or keep up their language of origin and develop their plurilingual repertoire</li> <li>Helping officials and others in contact with migrants to communicate successfully with them</li> <li>Ensuring that all migrants, especially those who stay mainly at home, have opportunities to learn the language of the host country</li> </ul> <p>An additional feature of migrant education, especially for recent arrivals, is that their language education frequently takes place in informal settings outside mainstream education. Frequently this can involve the recruitment and training of instructors, interpreters and social workers; and it can include counselling and practical help on how to cope with the challenges of a new country, new regulations, new social norms.</p> </div> </div></div></div></div> <div style="margin-bottom:10px;"></div> </div><div class="DnnModule DnnModule-MLHTML DnnModule-12736"><a name="12736"></a> <div><div id="dnn_ctr12736_ContentPane" class="Normal"><div id="dnn_ctr12736_ModuleContent" class="DNNModuleContent ModMLHTMLC"> <div id="dnn_ctr12736_MLHTML_HtmlHolder" class="Normal"></div> <div id="dnn_ctr12736_MLHTML_lblContent" class="Normal"> <h2>Employment – language for professional purposes</h2> <p>In addition to the domains of schooling and life in the community, migrant and other learners are likely to need language for professional purposes. Language education for employment may take place in an educational setting – for example, in vocational schools – or in the work place. Languages are becoming more and more important for companies – from small businesses to multinationals – and they value, expect and also foster the language skills of their employees.</p> <p><a show="Read more" onclick="javascript:return toggle(this, '#div2')" href="#top" hide="Hide details" class="links">Read more</a></p> </div> </div></div></div> <div style="margin-bottom:10px;"></div> </div><div class="DnnModule DnnModule-MLHTML DnnModule-12737"><a name="12737"></a> <div><div id="dnn_ctr12737_ContentPane" class="Normal"><div id="div2" style="display: none;"><div id="dnn_ctr12737_ModuleContent" class="DNNModuleContent ModMLHTMLC"> <div id="dnn_ctr12737_MLHTML_HtmlHolder" class="Normal"></div> <div id="dnn_ctr12737_MLHTML_lblContent" class="Normal"> <p>Enhancing employability is one of the central goals of education and language skills have an increasingly important role to play in achieving this goal. There is a clear need to make the lifelong learning of languages possible and effective by developing practical tools, methods and concepts to support young people and adults of all ages.  In order to provide solutions to the various needs of employees, teachers and companies, a wide variety of approaches is required, all of which emphasize the positive potential of plurilingualism and its value in all walks of life. Some of the challenges connected to language for professional purposes are:</p> <ul> <li>How can language learning in school – in addition to its contribution to quality education – equip learners to acquire the language skills they will need in their working lives?</li> <li>How can companies best organize language training to meet the changing needs of the market place?</li> <li>How can we convince companies of the benefits, both for themselves and their employees, of a positive attitude towards plurilingualism and intercultural competences?</li> <li>What technological and human resources are available for traditional and non-traditional learning (e.g. volunteers working with migrants)?</li> </ul> </div> </div></div></div></div> <div style="margin-bottom:10px;"></div> </div><div class="DnnModule DnnModule-MLHTML DnnModule-12738"><a name="12738"></a> <div><div id="dnn_ctr12738_ContentPane" class="Normal"><div id="dnn_ctr12738_ModuleContent" class="DNNModuleContent ModMLHTMLC"> <div id="dnn_ctr12738_MLHTML_HtmlHolder" class="Normal"></div> <div id="dnn_ctr12738_MLHTML_lblContent" class="Normal"> <h2>How the work of the Council of Europe contributes to migrant education </h2> <p>The Council of Europe has launched a project dedicated to the <a href="https://www.coe.int/en/web/lang-migrants/home" target="_blank">Linguistic Integration of Adult Migrants (LIAM)</a>. The website gives access to a very wide range of resources related to the theme. This provides a comprehensive <a href="https://rm.coe.int/CoERMPublicCommonSearchServices/DisplayDCTMContent?documentId=09000016806cc3ff" target="_blank">fact sheet</a> and other <a href="https://www.coe.int/en/web/lang-migrants/instruments" target="_blank">resources</a> ‘to support member states in their efforts to respond to the challenges posed by unprecedented migration flows’. A specific <a href="https://www.coe.int/en/web/language-support-for-adult-refugees/home" target="_blank">website for adult refugees</a> is also available within the framework of the LIAM project which includes a <a href="https://www.coe.int/en/web/language-support-for-adult-refugees/list-of-all-tools" target="_blank">toolkit</a> comprising 57 tools. The Council of Europe has also produced a <a href="https://www.coe.int/en/web/education/recognition-of-refugees-qualifications" target="_blank">qualifications passport for refugees</a> as an aid to integration into education and employment. </p> <h2>How ECML projects contribute to migrant education and language for employment </h2> <p>A number of ECML past and current projects are devoted to helping migrants to achieve successful integration in schools and in the workplace. These include:</p> <ul> <li>The <a href="https://languageforwork.ecml.at/" target="_blank">Language for Work project</a> – full title ‘A European learning network for professionals supporting work‐related second language development’<br /> This project has developed a network for professionals dealing with language training for work; its aims are to develop a series of tools for professional development and among these is a “<a href="https://languageforwork.ecml.at/Portals/48/documents/LFW-quick-guide-EN.pdf">quick guide</a>” to support companies in the linguistic integration of adult migrants. </li> <a href="https://languageforwork.ecml.at/Portals/48/documents/LFW-quick-guide-EN.pdf"> </a> <li><a href="https://languageforwork.ecml.at/Portals/48/documents/LFW-quick-guide-EN.pdf"></a><a href="/ECML-Programme/Programme2012-2015/Community/tabid/1836/Default.aspx">A collaborative community approach to migrant education</a><br /> A virtual open course for educators. The resources offer innovative ways to enhance young migrants' education by developing links between schools, the home and local partners in education. This educational joint venture develops the learners' skills in the language of schooling as well their plurilingual competences.</li> </ul> <h2>Migrant education and employment and other thematic areas</h2> <ul> <li><a href="/Thematicareas/Languagesofschooling/tabid/2968/language/en-GB/Default.aspx"><img alt="" src="https://www.ecml.at/Portals/1/images/logos/themes/logo-languages-of-schooling.gif" style="height: 50px; width: 50px; margin-right: 10px;" /> Languages of schooling</a><br /> Projects in this thematic area address the issue of teaching the language of the school to classes with diverse language backgrounds.
