Implicazioni psicoaffettive e socioculturali nell’insegnamento della L2 a richiedenti asilo

Detecting asylum seekers’ vulnerabilities is essential to plan language courses. In the case presented, the Author focuses on the role of the culture of origin and mother tongues (LM), and/or other languages spoken in the countries of origin, in the process of second language (L2) learning. For teachers it is relevant to be aware of psycho-affective and socio-cultural implications underlying the teaching and learning processes and, possibly, to learn how to analyse the effects of this on one’s education and at psychological, relational and individual cognitive levels.
