Examining Icelandic Language Instruction and its Role in the Integration of Immigrants and Refugees: A Case Study
Public DepositedContenu téléchargeable
open in viewerWe examined Icelandic as a second language (ISL) instruction in three language schools in Reykjavík: The Tin Can Factory, Mímir, and MúltíKúltí. These three schools teach Icelandic to adult immigrants and second language learners. At each school, we interviewed directors, students, and teachers and conducted classroom observations. Using an approach derived from grounded theory, we analyzed our qualitative data and developed conclusions on how the needs of ISL learners are addressed. In this paper, we describe the different teaching and assessment methods used at these schools and how each of these methods can address the needs of ISL learners with diverse backgrounds and motivations for learning Icelandic. We also created an infographic to inform immigrants of these language schools.
