The impact of interculturalism in formal education: the study case of Greece
Keywords:
Interculturalism, translanguaging, bilingualismAbstract
In many parts of the world, the attainment of proficiency in two or more languages is viewed as a highly desirable goal. Sometimes the development of bilingual skills takes place outside the bounds of formal education, impelled by individual factors in sociocultural context. The recent refugee crisis as well as the continuous migration made it imperative for the Greek educational system to be updated and to apply new methods, teaching techniques that include intercultural practices, so that the school becomes able to manage the cultural heterogeneity of students. The emphasis here is on understanding how two
(or more) languages are used within the Greek educational system to promote the goal of bilingual proficiency for enrolled students with the use of ICT.
