English and establishing credibility in an asylum claim https://t.co/NTBs0khfhi via @wordpressdotcom

@adi_rajan @EdLitChat I faced real situations as depicted in Kerryn Dixon's thought piece called 'Access, language and structural inequality'.
Asylum seekers in Glasgow wait for a long time to get refugee status. They have no access to public housing and employment.

@EdLitChat 2. The adoption of Translanguaging teaching methods is also a useful tool to manage refugee trauma linked to learning and how that plays out in the classroom. It is important to have home languages to foster safe spaces.

@EdLitChat
I agree with the notion that learning English mostly prepares refugees for low end jobs. It is not a magic wand that enables seamless integration (Warriner 2016). "Cultural capital and knowledge of how things
is equally important"

@EdLitChat

1. Adopting Translanguaging teaching methods is not an option in ESOL classes, given the issue of refugees identifying with their homelanguages.

@EdLitChat Hello there! I can't be there for the live discussion. But this topic is relevant to me.. given that I have worked with Refugees and asylum seekers in Glasgow last year.

I particularly found the following points useful.

[Azania @AzaniaMoya]

@adi_rajan that's another topic for discussion as well. #edlitchat

[Azania @AzaniaMoya]

@adi_rajan Hmm far too little! #edlitchat

[Azania @AzaniaMoya]

@adi_rajan 😎 cool #edlitchat

@adi_rajan This can be used for case-study research, a pre-determined hypothesis or for grounded theory where the research question is shaped according to what the narratives reveal.#edlitchat fantastic chapter!

[Azania @AzaniaMoya]

@adi_rajan I'm a bit confused by the difference between action research and teacher research. They seem very similar.

[Azania @AzaniaMoya]

@adi_rajan So I really liked the chapter on using stories or teacher narratives in education research. It ties in with ethnographic studies using participant observation,where the researcher, is part of the observed context which is relevant to research question at hand.

[Azania @AzaniaMoya]

@adi_rajan Yes this is useful! Just bookmarked it
