    An approximation to inclusive language in LMOOCs based on Appraisal Theory
    (De Gruyter, 2020-03-11) Bárcena Madera, María Elena; Read, Timothy Martin; Sedano Cuevas, Beatriz
    This article explores inclusive language as a form of verbal communication in an open online language course for refugees and migrants. Firstly, the existing evidence of the benefits of using inclusive language in education is analyzed.

Thirdly, a first approximation towards the identification of linguistic resources that may impact both group inclusion and individual discrimination is attempted, based on principles and categories from Appraisal Theory.

    Inclusive Language MOOCs
    (Graz University of Technology, 2021-05-28) Read, Timothy Martin; Sedano Cuevas, Beatriz; Bárcena Madera, María Elena
    This article discusses the application of MOOCs for refugees and migrants in order to help these groups of people develop the language competences and transverse skills which they require to improve their level of social inclusion and possibilities in the labour market, and/or access higher education in the country in which they find themselves or plan to go. Specifically, this research focuses on the way in which Language MOOCs (or LMOOCs [Martín-Monje, Barcena, 2014]) deploy on mobile devices [Read, Barcena 2015] can effectively and advantageously be used by displaced people. The study reported here outlines the design of two LMOOCs of Spanish for immediate needs, based on a previous needs analysis, developed by the ATLAS research group in collaboration with NGOs and refugee support associations in Spain.
