Hola,

Cómo se podría traducir "aula de acogida" en inglés británico?
Skang
Spain
Newcomers' classrooms
Explanation:
I live in Catalonia and am familiar with what "aulas de acogida" are and do. I would avoid "reception" because it refers to something else in the UK education system: the kindergarten class (5-year-olds or thereabouts). Aulas de acogida are for all ages.

reception class


Explanation:
Not "center", which is more like an info hub/office for new arrivals.
The "aulas de acogida" in Catalonia and elsewhere are actual classrooms with a special focus on teaching to meet the needs of immigrant students.
I know this because I've translated several published articles on this area.

NB: When specifically focusing on host language acquisition, they are known as ATALs (aulas temporales de adaptación lingüística) -> temporary language adaptation classrooms.
I've just received a 9K article on the subject for translation, which is nice :-)

Example sentence(s):
  • The reception classrooms are a resource of the Catalan educational system aimed at students who have just arrived from another country.
  • Reception classroom (Catalonia). ○ gradual inclusion and reception plans.
