Can you help English learning blossom for a refugee family? We're pretty excited to be a part of a six-week summer English learning program for teens and adults, where parents can bring their littles to be cared for while they learn. The Illinois QC has a couple of really wonderful family literacy sites, and now it's the Iowa QC's turn. Transportation is a barrier for many of the families who would like to attend.

The Transformative Power of English as a Second Language and Empowering Migrants for Success Global Powerhouse served as Powerhub | Australian Department of Home Affairs English stands as a powerful medium that has the potential to amplify talents and open doors to opportunities for individuals in various spheres of life, be it in the workplace, family, or communities. Its significance lies in its ability to empower individuals to break barriers, connect with others, and thrive in diverse environments. At the forefront of language empowerment initiatives stands the Adult Migration English Program (AMEP), a cornerstone program that has supported over 2 million migrant and humanitarian entrants in Australia. By equipping participants with essential English language skills, the AMEP plays a pivotal role in facilitating successful settlement and integration into Australian society. A recent survey of nearly 10,000 students engaged in the AMEP revealed resoundingly positive feedback, with 92% of respondents endorsing the program's English classes. This endorsement underscores the program's effectiveness in not only enhancing language proficiency but also in assisting migrants in navigating life in Australia, achieving personal goals, and fostering community connections. The AMEP exemplifies the transformative impact of language education in empowering migrants to thrive in their new environment. Through effective communication in English, individuals can access a multitude of opportunities, overcome obstacles, and contribute meaningfully to their communities. As we celebrate Adult Learners Week, it is crucial to acknowledge the vital role of programs like the AMEP in promoting lifelong learning, inclusivity, and successful integration for migrants in Australia. English, as a second language, serves as more than just a communication tool—it is a catalyst for empowerment, integration, and belonging for individuals embarking on new chapters in their lives. By recognizing the power of English as a medium for personal and communal growth, we can support the advancement and success of migrants as they navigate new territories, build connections, and realize their full potential in a diverse and interconnected world. #EnglishLanguageEmpowerment #AMEP #MigrantIntegration #LanguageSkills #EmpowermentThroughEnglish #Inclusivity #EmpoweringCommunities #CommunicationIsKey #OpportunitiesThroughLanguage #DiversityAndInclusion #UnlockingPotential #UnlockingTalents

When refugee students enter the classroom, teachers often face uncertainty about what to expect and how best to support them, despite their desire to help. Educators need to understand the unique challenges and experiences of refugee students to support them effectively. This includes: 🫶 learning about their cultural backgrounds 🫶 approaching students with trauma-informed practices 🫶 creating inclusive and supportive classroom environments One way to ensure your classroom is inclusive is through your selected curriculum. The importance of acculturation should not be overlooked. That’s why Language Tree introduces school-related norms and practical tips to help newly arrived students overcome the daunting aspect of entering the American school system.

I draw much inspiration for my work around integrated literacy from Australia. Many of their units are 1) interdisciplinary, 2) integrative of learning, literacy, and language (at all levels of meaning, from discourse down to phonemes), 3) pursue learning goals that have relevance outside the classroom. https://lnkd.in/gJ9E-BTK

🙌 Every child has the right to body peace! ⭐ Did you know that Protect Children also produces educational materials for children and families? 📗 In collaboration with Fun Academy, we published an activity booklet that gives an opportunity for children aged 4-9 years to think about #bodyboundaries. The activity booklet is now available in 8 languages: #English, #Finnish, #Norwegian, #Albanian, #Romanian, #Spanish, #Russian, and #Swedish. 🟢 It is important for children to learn that we all have different, equally valuable bodies. It is also important for children to know what to do if someone violates their body boundaries. Check our educational resources & download the Body Boundaries booklet for free: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dkwwBgfR
