English Literacy Educators Working with Refugee Families highlights best practices for English literacy instruction when working with refugees in the United States. Given the global refugee crisis around the world, the topic of teaching language to refugees is of increasing importance. The volume addresses this pressing issue and provides valuable insights and tools for educators working with refugees and immigrants in a variety of programs.

With contributions from authors who have experience teaching refugees, the book details innovative strategies and first-hand knowledge, grounded in theory, research, and practice in adult education. Book contributors provide a review of the contexts for teaching refugees and illustrate the importance of implementing an intercultural communicative framework in the English literacy classroom.

The book will be beneficial to pre-service teachers, students in undergraduate and graduate programs learning about adult literacy education, as well as educators and researchers interested in refugee education.
