The integration of migrants and the impact on it of their acquisition of competence in the language(s) of the host country are a focus for political debate and policy initiatives in a large number of Council of Europe member States, as is demonstrated by the surveys carried out to date by the Council of Europe.
Within the project focused on offering language support to migrants, based on the extended Linguistic Integration of Adult Migrants (LIAM) project, in existence since 2006, the Council of Europe provides policy guidelines and pedagogical resources for the authorities and educators in the member States receiving refugees and other migrants, adults and children alike.
Formålet med dette nettstedet er:
- å bistå medlemslandene i å utvikle en helhetlig og effektiv integreringspolitikk, samt i å evaluere hvorvidt eksisterende politikk på området er i tråd med Europarådets felles verdisyn og prinsipper
- å gi praktiske råd for en effektiv iverksetting av politikk på området
- å stimulere til kvalitetssikring og gode rutiner i språkopplæringstilbudet og i vurdering og testing av språkferdigheter
- å tilby en plattform som gjør medlemslandene i stand til å utveksle erfaringer og refleksjoner rundt politikk og praksis på dette området
Oppsummert er formålet med denne nettsiden å samle all relevant informasjon slik at denne blir lett tilgjengelig. Nettsiden har blitt utviklet med hjelp fra en gruppe eksperter innen flere fagfelt.
