What is a migrant?
the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) defines a migrant “any person who changes his or her country of usual residence”
three main models of inclusion
assimilation, multiculturalism, integration
about langage :
langage is a key for migrant integration in their new community : support of language aquisition is a key but setting language requirements is counterproductive
In fact, countries with lower language requirements turn out to be the most favourable for migrants’ inclusion. Language tests can indeed deter migrants from applying for a particular status, rather than motivating them to master the language. In some communities, research has found that moving away from language assimilation to a multilinguistic approach in schools supports migrant students’educational outcomes and, ultimately, decreases the likelihood of discrimination and improves their sense of inclusion.
