Higher education has been a source of opportunity and achievement for migrants and refugees around the world. It has provided them with the tools and knowledge to pursue careers and build lives in their new communities, but it has also made them targets for discrimination. Colleges and universities are often ill-equipped to address the unique educational needs of their diverse student populations, and many times, the very institution that was meant to be a safe haven for them becomes their greatest barrier to success. Today, we are witnessing a crisis of higher education for migrants and refugees. Global Perspectives on the Difficulties and Opportunities Faced by Migrant and Refugee Students in Higher Education focuses on the formal and informal educational opportunities that are available to migrant students, as well as the barriers that prevent them from fully accessing these opportunities. The book also discusses how the experiences of migrant and refugee students in higher education have evolved and the impact that this evolution has had on their educational experiences. Finally, the book considers the ways in which higher education institutions have responded to the educational needs of migrant and refugee students and the role that the education industry has played in this response both formally and informally. Covering key topics such as immigration, educational needs, and displaced students, this premier reference source is ideal for administrators, policymakers, scholars, researchers, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.

The last three decades have witnessed a growth of interest in research on tasks from various perspectives and numerous books and collections of articles have been published focusing on the notion of task and its utility in different contexts. Nevertheless, what is lacking is a multi-faceted examination of tasks from different important perspectives. This edited volume, with four sections of three chapters each, views tasks and Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) from four distinct (but complementary) vantage points. In the first section, all chapters view tasks from a cognitive-interactionist angle with each addressing one key facet of either cognition or interaction (or both) in different contexts (CALL and EFL/ESL). Section two hinges on the idea that language teaching and learning is perhaps best conceptualized, understood, and investigated within a complexity theory framework which accounts for the dynamicity and interrelatedness of the variables involved. Viewing TBLT from a sociocultural lens is what connects the chapters included in the third section. Finally, the fourth section views TBLT from pedagogical and curricular vantage points.
