Refugee poster project
Since 2001, the United Nations has designated 20 June as World Refugee Day, dedicated to raising awareness of the situation of refugees throughout the world. In this lesson for secondary learners, pupils learn what a refugee is by reading a definition, some statistics and some information about how refugees might feel. They then imagine a group of refugee children of the same age are coming to live in their town, and work in groups to produce a poster with ideas for activities to make them feel welcome. Finally, they present their ideas to the class, using posters to help them explain their ideas.

TeachingEnglish podcast: How can I ensure my teaching is inclusive?
All children have the right to learn, but often they are not given the opportunity to do so. Even when they are present in the classroom, they are not fully included in the learning. In this episode, teachers involved in the British Council's innovative Teaching for All programme in South Africa will share approaches which can promote inclusivity, particularly in diverse classroom communities. Then, leading inclusivity expert Anne Margaret Smith will share her ideas about how these strategies can be adapted and adopted in your teaching context.

'Innovations in English language teaching for migrants and refugees'
Edited by David Mallows, this collection brings a wealth of ideas and practices in English language teaching, and aims to stimulate new thinking and experimentation by providing accounts of innovative experiences from a range of national and international contexts. There are three chapters with a focus on primary education, four looking at the secondary sector, one about 16- to 19-year olds, and six chapters focusing on adult ESOL. While the phase of education is used as an organising principle, many of the ideas discussed could be equally applied to other age groups.
