The methods explored involve participant observation, plenary discussion, and the preparation of individual project proposals.
Each student will have an assigned project assignment, the development of which will be an integral part of the final assessment. Verification of profit is expected through an oral interview.
Students will be guided toward an in-depth study of issues related to multicultural societies, migration contexts, in relation to the language policies of host countries, and the practices and dynamics of recognizing or violating minority language rights in a migrant context. Special attention will be paid to adult literacy and support for social disadvantage in gender differences.
Students should consult the moodle space dedicated to the course for any information regarding personal work, documentation and study materials. There is no difference between attending and non-attending students. Those who will not be in a position to attend the course, should err in contact with the lecturer to arrange a personalized study program.
