Beyond resilience: Facilitating learning and well-being in the refugee language classroom

The mixed-method project explored the experiences and perceptions of a group of RBSs and their teachers, employing questionnaires, case studies and classroom observations using a lesson study framework. Findings indicated that the RBSs felt positive about learning English and improvements in levels of English and in PWB appear to be linked. Teachers highlighted the benefit of professional training focusing on trauma and PWB and saw lesson study as effective for teacher analysis of students’ classroom responses.
