Abstract
Describes a collaboration between the Welsh Refugee Council and the teacher training department of the University of South Wales. Educational organisations are uniquely placed to promote the cultural and linguistic integration of forced migrants in the United
Kingdom. By using ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) teacher training to fulfil the needs of migrants in Cardiff on long waiting lists for lessons, this partnership shows mutually beneficial impacts. Trainee teachers gain an understanding of the experiences and needs of migrants, whilst migrants gain the language skills needed to integrate, gain employment and access services.
