Formal Education Resources: Lesson Plans & Tools

Welcome to the Formal education resources: lesson plans & tools, a collection of lesson plans and teaching tools designed to support migrant and refugee learners in formal education settings.

Downloadable PDFs

Here you can find downloadable PDFs to support teaching in the classroom. Relevant material will be gradually uploaded.

What’s Included

The resources on this page were developed collaboratively by linguistics researchers, educators and researchers across five countries. Tested via teaching pilots, they are grounded in inclusive, multilingual pedagogy and tested in real classrooms.

You will find:

  • Lesson Plans across five languages (English, French, German, Greek, Polish) for vocabulary and grammar teaching, multilingual pedagogies, and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL).
  • Cultural Awareness Scenarios embracing multilingual support, cultural awareness, and social inclusion.
  • Teacher Training Material across five languages (English, French, German, Greek, Polish) based on the most recent literature on second language learning and teaching, multilingual pedagogies, cultural sensitivity and awareness in multilingual classrooms.

  • Grammar (employing Processing Instruction, Dictogloss, Running Dictation)
  • Multilingual Pedagogies (employing Pedagogical Translanguaging)
  • Content and language learning (employing Content and Language Integrated Learning)
