MESH (Migrant English Support Hub)<\/a> have developed some free learning resources on \u2018Family Challenges\u2019 based on the video on \u2018Young Caregiving in Transnational Families\u2019<\/a> produced by the Transnational Families in Europe<\/em><\/a> research project. The resources are made for ESOL tutors to use in their classes in a variety of situations, from volunteer tutors in community settings to those employed in colleges. As well as being an output of the research project, these resources fit into a collection of resources developed by MESH. Over the last few years, we have developed a range of locally-referenced resources for use in Yorkshire and the Humber, focusing on information that will be useful to migrants who have recently settled here. Topics include How the NHS works, Volunteering, and Food banks and Food Support, all of which can be accessed here.<\/a><\/p>\n

The \u2018Family Challenges\u2019 resources <\/a>highlight the challenges faced by transnational families, particularly those experienced by young <\/span>people who find themselves in support or caring roles within their family. Learners can watch the video and then do a range of activities based on it, from a basic vocabulary focus for low level learners to more advanced reading and listening activities. For the more advanced activities we have used an interview with our very own Safina Arif. Safina grew up in a bi-lingual, multi-national family, and found herself in a support role for her parents in situations such as GP appointments and parent-teacher meetings. Along with the set of slides which form the main resource, there are also teacher notes with suggested <\/span>teaching activities, and a Keywords list with Audio and example sentences.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The issues raised in\u00a0this video will be close to the heart of many ESOL learners. We are very excited to be able to support the project and offer this classr<\/span>oom resource to tutors and learners.<\/span><\/p>\n
