Abstract

This chapter addresses the situation and needs of newly arrived migrant students (NAMS) as they encounter the school system in the country of reception. International migration has been on the increase all over Europe. Previous research has shown that the emphasis on, and organizing of, second-language learning, where NAMS will learn the language of instruction in their new school, is of utmost importance when it comes to their inclusion and well-being. The chapter concludes that neither existing integrative nor segregated efforts for NAMS seem to be sufficiently adjusted to these students’ need for inclusion. This points to the importance of future research to focus more on the social, in addition to the linguistic and academic needs of NAMS throughout the induction phase.
