Technology-enabled Language Education for Migrants and Refugees in the UK

Migration Museum at The Workshop 26 Lambeth High Street London SE1 7AG

This roundtable discussion taking place at the Migration Museum Project is designed to provoke discussion on the role of technology in language education for migrants and refugees. Are any current technologies relevant or useful? Are they a barrier to genuine human contact and learning? Should they be used much more widely and how might that come about?

Tom Hayton, Techfugees

Dr Michael Thomas, Professor of Language and Global Studies, University of Central Lancashire
