"Talks become even better, when we have overcome language barriers": Teaching students of the Greek Muslim Minority
Abstract
Educators who teach bilingual students and students-members of minority groups, who may not possess the target language to a high degree, need to constantly review and readjust their teaching methods, teaching material and teaching techniques. However, these readjustments occur, when educators realize the challenges their students face due to the implication of traditional teaching methods or when they desire or seek to differentiate. The study applies a qualitative design, based on the (critical language policy) analysis of interviews of seven educators who teach at schools of secondary education in Thrace with a high percentage of students of the Muslim minority. Interviews revealed that focal educators’ perceptions can be placed on a continuum based on the extent to which they value and apply translanguaging and inclusive approaches.
