    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. Secondly, the specific need to use this type of language in the context of online courses for displaced people is discussed. 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. Fourthly, the presence and effects of these linguistic resources are analyzed in the materials and forums of a highly successful LMOOC of elementary Spanish for refugees and migrants. Fifthly and finally, conclusions are drawn on the convenienc

    The Role of Scaffolding in LMOOCs for Displaced People
    (Universidad de Alcalá, 2021-12-30) Read, Timothy Martin; Sedano Cuevas, Beatriz
    This article presents the results of an analysis of how passive and active scaffolding, such as types of structured student learning support, can be provided for refugees and migrants in Language MOOCs (LMOOCs). It focuses on the nature of such scaffolding and what effect it has on learning. After an analysis of the theoretical aspects of supporting refugees and migrants in this type of course, a case study is presented. This study focuses on the inclusion of scaffolding in the design, development and running of two Spanish LMOOCsforimmediate needs, created within the MOONLITE project in collaboration with support groups for displaced people. The results of the study support the use of scaffolding as a mechanism that improves the course completion rates (increasing from the usual figure of around 10% to 31% and 30% in the respective courses), language learning, and the overall satisfaction and motivation of the students.

    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.
