Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to share a practical proposal in the area of foreign language education for migrant learners. Among the many language teaching methodologies employed in recent decades, pluralistic approaches are particularly suitable in the context of language and cultural diversity. Pluralistic approaches include different learning procedures, activities, and techniques involving several varieties of languages and/or cultures during any one teaching event. The conceptual framework is provided by the Framework of Reference for Pluralistic Approaches to Languages and Cultures (Candelier et al., 2012). As a result of migration and travel, many of today’s learners are already familiar with more than one or two languages when they join the foreign language lesson. Such learners have a heightened metalinguistic awareness, and traditional approaches that advocate the sole use of the target language are not appropriate for them. This chapter illustrates how one project developed, implemented, and evaluated a set of worksheets that stimulated the learners’ cognitive processes of comparing, contrasting, explaining, and being creative while using, and talking about, different languages and cultures. This case study illustrates how as a teacher educator I worked with a class teacher in a mainstream secondary school setting in Malta. Twenty students, aged 12, who originated from 14 different countries took part. We experienced how migrant learners have a heightened metalinguistic awareness, and how, through the pluralistic approach, they showed openness to learning about other languages, especially by asking questions.
