EDUCATIONAL MEASURES

Regarding the educational measures in Europe, opinions differ about strategies to improve the quality of education provided for pupils with SEN and an immigrant background or non-immigrants from ethnic minorities. The main controversy apparent in the research concerns the place and the role of the pupil’s mother tongue at school. There is no overall agreement about the use of pupils’ mother tongue at school: while some researchers are in favour of bilingual education, others argue that pupils should only use the language of the host country within the school (and even sometimes within the family) (European Agency, 2009, p. 15). Similarly, the use of a pupil’s mother tongue at school can be viewed as a support for the pupil, but it can also present the risk of excluding pupils who speak the same foreign language from the group who speak the host country language. The pluri-linguistic approach for all pupils (Candelier, 2003; Perregaux, de Goumoëns, Jeannot, & de Pietro, 2003) is a new social and didactic way to recognise all languages at school and to open all children to diversity.
